There are two types of people in the world: those who think Google Glass is the coolest thing ever, and those who think it makes people look like a pretentious Geordi La Forge. But regardless of what camp you're in, this new video of Google Glass in action (via The Verge) is definitely interesting.
Since announcing its wearable computing project last year, Google has slowly worked up excitement for the device. Today's video shows off a whole host of features, including the ability to search the web through voice. Somewhere, an Apple Siri engineer is squirming just a bit.
Other features displayed in the video include the previously announced ability to send hands-free messages, including video chat. One segment shows a person running to catch a plane, their flight information displayed in the upper-right hand of the screen.
There's no solid release date or price set for Google Glass as of yet. Google recently started selling development versions for $1,500, and the company is still hoping for a public launch in early 2014. Maybe by that point, we can buy Google Glass in a Google Store?
