Google Glass

[Rubaida Easmin]

The notorious Google Glass was a prism-based, head-mounted display stuck to a camera and a glasses frame, that was intended to give the wearer at-a-glance information floating just above their right eye. It was announced in 2012, launched in the US as an early-adopter prototype called the Explorer Edition costing $1,500 in 2013, and was opened up to a wider audience in 2014. The UK version cost £1,000.

While wearing them was an interesting experience, the social stigma of having a camera strapped to your face saw a backlash from those around Glass wearers. It was eventually shelved in its current form in 2015.
