9. SOFTWARES
Applications:
Google Glass also uses many existing Google applications, such as Google Now,
Google Maps, Google+, and Gmail.
MyGlass:
Google offers a companion Android and iOS app called MyGlass, which allows the user
to configure and manage the device.
Voice Activation:
Other than the touchpad, Google Glass can be Controlled using “Voice Actions”.
10. CONCERNS
Concerns have been raised by various sources regarding the
intrusion of privacy, and the etiquette and ethics of using the device
in public and recording people without their permission.
Concerns have been raised by cyber forensics experts at the
University of Massachusetts who have developed a way to steal
smartphone and tablet passwords using Google Glass.
Concerns were also raised in regard to the privacy and security of
Glass users in the event that the device is stolen or lost, an issue that
was raised by a US congressional committee.
12. INTRODUCTION
In late 2014, Google announced Project Wing, which started with the idea of using
drones to deliver defibrillators to people who were having heart attacks and evolved
into self-flying drones that deliver products and disaster relief in remote areas in the
world. The drones use a tether to drop an item from above; once the item is safely
on the ground, the tether detaches and recoils. "Even just a few of these, being able
to shuttle nearly continuously could service a very large number of people in an
emergency situation," Google's Astro Teller told the BBC.
The first version of the drones had a wingspan of five feet and weighed in at about
19 pounds. This design was scrapped after tests in Australia showed that it didn’t do
well in high winds, but Google has said they’re committed to the idea of drone
delivery .

14. AGENDA
The original concept behind Project Wing — which has been in development
for more than two years — was to deliver defibrillators to heart attack sufferers
within two minutes. Google says it ran into issues trying to integrate its tech
with the USA’s existing 911 and emergency services systems, and so the focus
of the project shifted to the much more general problem of same-day
deliveries, disaster relief, and generally delivering to places that same- and
next-day couriers might not reach.
