According to recent reports from The New York Times, Google is probably venturing into the `wearable devices' arena - which will possibly be the next evolution of how people interact with technology - with its `smartphone-like' glasses.
Going by the reports, the Internet search giant is working on a pair of specs which, quite like the smartphone, will essentially work as a computer which the users will wear on their nose. The Google glasses will boast a small screen, maps, GPS and some other useful apps.
As per the information shared in the Times report, Google's innovative pair of glasses will likely hit the markets this year; and will carry a price-tag of between $250 and $600. The glasses will seemingly use some variation of augmented reality - that is, a technology which has already made its way to the smartphones and tablets and overlays details about the users' surroundings on to the screen.
