The most exciting piece of technology without an “i” in its name this year is undoubtedly Google’s funky Project Glass AR glasses. Previously spotted on Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Sebastian Thrun, head of Google X sat down with Charlie Rose to give us common folk a look at the future.
In his interview with Rose, Thrun answers a few questions concerning why Google is so excited about Project Glass. For one thing, Project Glass is aimed at “getting [computers] out of your life and not into your life.”
Thrun believes Project Glass will augment reality in useful ways without the technical barrier that is often associated with operating mobile devices such as smartphones. “This is a display that sits above a normal feed of you. It can see things that you wish to, but normally it doesn’t impede your vision.”
