Google Glass was a kind of wearable expertise with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD). It was developed by Google with the mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer.[1] Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format. Wearers communicate with the Web by natural language voice commands. Google started selling a prototype of Google Glass to qualified "Glass Explorers" in the US on April 15, 2013, for a limited period for $1,500, before it became available to the public on May 15, 2014, for the same cost.
Google Glass was developed by Google X, the facility within Google dedicated to technological advancements such as driverless cars.

Google Glass is smaller and slimmer than earlier head-mounted display designs.
