What would it be like to wear Google Glass ? Google answered that very question Wednesday morning , posting a lot more information about Project Glass , including the user interface , through a series of photos and videos . You can see the UI and some of the features of Glass here , although the images do n't quite capture the exact experience . The headset does n't actually have lenses in front of your eyes , just a small screen ( viewable via a mirrored glass block ) above and to the right of the wearer 's right eye . As such , the point-of-view images that show a large action window in the center of the field of view are a little misleading . Still , the photos , posted on Google 's Project Glass website , show more about how Glass works than any photo of the hardware could convey . This video shows even more : Commanding the headset is as easy as uttering the words `` OK , Glass , '' a clever use of real-world speech to engage the device 's listening mode .

Once engaged , Glass is capable of taking photos , recording videos , looking up answers on Google , showing reminders ( such as for a flight ) and sharing whatever you 're looking at — either via messaging or through a Google+ Hangout . As Google co-founder Sergey Brin himself revealed previously , Glass will also have an automatic picture-taking mode , snapping pics at a preset intervals ( such as every 5 seconds ) . Google also launched a contest with its own hashtag ( # ifihadglass ) , challenging anyone to come up with creative uses for Google Glass that can be explained in 50 words or fewer . Winners will get the chance to buy their own , along with developers , when they become available . The price : $ 1,500 , plus tax . Are you impressed with how Google Glass works ?
