Google: Glasses become mini computers

Google wants to create a completely new type of computer glasses to attract Internet customers. The US search engine giant presented the prototype of a pair of glasses on its social network Google+ on Wednesday.

This will allow wearers to take photos and video chat. Online services such as navigation and weather forecasts and the search for friends in the vicinity are also to be offered. According to SDA, Google's aim with the presentation was to stimulate discussion and receive useful suggestions. It also shows what the new augmented reality technology could look like.

At the moment, it is still unclear when the glasses could hit the stores.
