Google’s glasses embed the web in your reality

Google Inc is getting into the eyewear business with a pair of thin wraparound shades that puts the company’s web services in your face.

The experimental “augmented reality” glasses — from the same team that is developing self-driven cars — can snap photos, initiate videochats and display directions at the sound of a user’s voice via an in-built microphone.

The prototype digital glasses, unveiled on the company’s Google+ social network, are still being tweaked and tested, and are not available in stores yet.
