Google's new livelens Glass app allows users to record their lives for others, the tech giant announced Tuesday.
"We're excited to expand into the growing sector of wearables and we believe our Google Glass application provides a fascinating experience for broadcasting your life," Max Bluvband, a chief executive at Google told sky.com. Consumers can comment on videos, and also like them. Glass' battery is not long-lasting enough to record all day, but this could change thanks to Android and iOS apps from Tel Aviv company Livelens.
Google Glass has many other attributes. Users search the internet and even play tennis, the company said on its blog. A balance game also evaluates one's ability to keep books on their head, and a clay shooter similar to the famous duck hunt game. The match game tests how well one pairs patches with similar patterns, while a shap splitter game breaks up shapes.
The connected eyewear also plays music. Consumers can look for songs, review playlists, and hear tunes in good quality sound while the device is on their face.
60,000 registered physicians utilize the apps features via a Drchrono app. Over 300 have agreed to institute the free while on the job. Drchrono could tack on a fee soon.
Google Glass will also have designer frames when released on the tech giant's website June, 23. According to Mashable, the new shades, separate from Glass' Ray Ban styled devices, will come in grey, rainbow-hued, and brown, and have Furstenberg's initials in the upper right hand corner of the right lens.
According to the Verge, this version of the connected eyewear will cost $1,620, $120 higher than Google's regular $1,500 glass device. Gadgets with prescription lenses go for $1,725.
