It is not commercially available yet, but there’s every indication that Google Glass could well be one of the best tech products of the year. Not just because of what it does, but its sheer form factor and its ability to blend technology with something that we wear every day. The concept is certainly not new - anyone remember Batman’s utility belt or Iron Man’s gauntlets? If Google Glass does manage to make it big, we could see technology moving from devices we carry to objects we wear - from wristwatches and bracelets to shirts and shoes. In fact, we are almost there.

Glasses -- Making a spectacle
Putting tech on to your ears as a pair of glasses is what Google has been working on for the past few years. Google Glass might look like a regular -- well, slightly bulky --pair of sunglasses, but it lets you do a whole lot more than just see the world around you. You can send messages, take photographs, share on social networks, identify monuments -- all without taking your glasses off.
