Decades ago, people likely envisioned 2012 to be quite futuristic. Although we don’t have flying cars or meals in pill form just yet, new technology is being tested that fits the mold.
In April, Google initiated Project Glass, which essentially transforms eyeglasses into a mobile computer, enabling users to view maps, take and share photos and videos, check the weather, read e-mails and more. The technology is still in the prototype phase, but when it launches it could be controlled by someone’s voice or physical gestures. And according to an article in The Wall Street Journal, Google isn’t the only company working on such “futuristic” technology.
