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 🙂

Wearing Google Glass
I’m wearing the same Google Glass that was used by Sergey Brin, the Google co-founder.

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.
