Terminator's Glasses

Google is reportedly poised to unveil a pair of Terminator-style glasses with a heads-up display that would allow users to view information on the move.

The specs provide real-time information from services such as Google Maps via an Android operation system, it is understood. They would let wearers see the world in a similar way to the cyborg assassin played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the blockbuster Terminator films through an augmented reality computer display. The glasses could tap into Google's cloud-based applications for information based on the user's surroundings.

The goggles will also have voice input and output, as well as the equivalent central processing unit, memory and storage of an Android smartphone. Despite the excitement surrounding their creation, it remains unclear whether the goggles will ever be produced commercially.
