Last week on 10th May 2014, I got a chance to test this new tech gadget called Google Glass at Multimedia University (MMU) in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. It uses the technology related with augmented reality or famously known as AR. I think I look like a Borg character from the “Star Trek” movies only the much more good looking version 🙂

When I first donned the Google Glass, I can feel that it is very light in weight. It is like wearing the thin plastic headband on your forehead. Later, after a few setting from the demo assistance, a virtual screen appeared just in front of me. It seems like the box is floating around one metre in front of me and it looks a little bit overlapped with other real objects. Hence, to get the best effect, it is better to view it in front of a blank wall.
During the testing or demo session, I was able to try out few things such as switching the light on and off and also controlling the movie that is shown on the TV. What I need to do is to swipe lightly at the side of the Google Glass to see the menu and when I decided to select it, then I need to tap it lightly. Sometimes it is not very sensitive, hence I need to tap it a few times. Perhaps, I need more time to adjust to it.
I think that’s all from me at this moment. Still too early to decide whether I want to purchase it or not since I’m not familiar wearing glass. Except the sunglasses while driving only. For more info about Google Glass, you can visit http://www.google.com/glass/start/.
