The Battery Life is A Major Challenge in The Google Glass
 
Google (GOOG U.S.) has finally announced the highly anticipated “Google Glass Specifications” Although mostly in line with market expectations, but analysts pointed out that the most skeptical that Google battery life ambiguous statement, and that afraid this will affect the main reason of the acceptance.

The technology giant announced Google Glass storage space of 16GB, with a 5 megapixel camera, video pixel 720p, networking, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a micro USB slot can be used for data transfer and charging. Whether this case can be used all day long? From the user to go out early in the morning back home after a full day trip, even before going to bed, or is that the time to go to work nine to five?


The following article is references to the Internet
Google Glass is a wearable computer with a head-mounted display (HMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project, with the mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer. Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format, that can interact with the Internet via natural language voice commands. While the frames do not currently have lenses fitted to them, Google is considering partnering with sunglass retailers such as Ray-Ban or Warby Parker, and may also open retail stores to allow customers to try on the device. The Explorer Edition cannot be used by people who wear prescription glasses, but Google has confirmed that Glass will eventually work with frames and lenses that match the wearer's prescription; the glasses will be modular and therefore possibly attachable to normal prescription glasses.

Glass is being developed by Google X Lab, which has worked on other futuristic technologies such as driverless cars. The project was announced on Google+ by Project Glass lead Babak Parviz, an electrical engineer who has also worked on putting displays into contact lenses; Steve Lee, a project manager and "geolocation specialist"; and Sebastian Thrun, who developed Udacity as well as worked on the self-driving car project. Google has patented the design of Project Glass. Thad Starner, an AR expert, is a technical lead/manager on the project.
