Google is apparently working on more hardware, and is said to be developing heads-up display (HUD) spectacles at Google X Lab. The spectacles will be able to provide augmented reality functions, as they reportedly also feature a front-facing camera.
Other recent reports indicated that Google is alsoworking on a wireless entertainment device for the home. 9to5Google quoted a source who said the heads-up display glasses looked like Oakley Thumps, seen above, presumably also featuring earphones.
The Google HUD glasses will apparently have processing hardware at par with last generation Android devices, and will also function as a smartphone.
UI navigation will be handled by the user, rotating and tilting his head. Contrary to ascribed the heads up display functionality, the report goes on to say the display will not be transparent, forcing the user to “stop walking around” - rather pointless for wearable tech.
