OVERVIEW
As per many reports( %oo!le is e-pected to start sellin! eye!lasses that will pro.ect information(
entertainment and( this bein! a %oo!le product( ad'ertisements onto the lenses/ These !lasses
will ha'e the combined features of 'irtual reality and au!mented reality/The %oo!le %lasses can use
a <% cell connection to pull in information from %oo!le:s mountain of data and display info about
the real world in au!mented reality on the lens in front of your eye/ As you turn your head you:ll !et
information about your surroundin!s and nearby ob.ects from %oo!le %o!!les( info on buildin!s
and establishments from %oo!le $aps( e'en your friends: nearby check7ins from Latitude/ The
company has no plans to sell ads into your newly au!mented 'iew of the world( but will consider it
if the product really catches on"
The !lasses are not bein! desi!ned to be worn constantly althou!h %oo!le en!ineers e-pect
some users will wear them a lot but will be more like smart phones( used when needed( with
the lenses ser'in! as a kind of see7throu!h computer monitor/%oo!le !lasses are basically wearable
computers that will use the same Android software that powers Android smart phones and tablets/
Like smart phones and tablets( the !lasses will be euipped with %3S and motion sensors/ They will
also contain a camera and audio inputs and outputs/Se'eral people who ha'e seen the !lasses( but
who are not allowed to speak publicly about them(said that the location information was a ma.or
feature of the !lasses/ Throu!h the built7in camera on the !lasses( %oo!le will be able to stream
ima!es to its rack computers and return au!mented reality information to the person wearin! them/
0or instance( a person lookin! at a landmark could see detailed historical information and comments
about it left by friends/ "f facial reco!nition software becomes accurate enou!h( the !lasses could
remind a wearer of when and how he met the 'a!uely familiar person standin! in front of him at a
party/ They mi!ht also be used for 'irtual reality !ames that use the real world as the play!round/

TECHNOLOGIES USED
,earable computers( also known as body7borne computers are miniature electronic de'ices that are
worn by the bearer under( with or on top of clothin!/ This class of wearable technolo!y has been
de'eloped for !eneral or special purpose information technolo!ies and media de'elopment/,earable
computers are especially useful for applications that reuire more comple- computational support
than .ust hardware coded lo!ics/ ne of the main features of a wearable computer is consistency/
There is a constant interaction between the computer and user( i/e/ there is no need to turn the de'ice
on or off/ Another feature is the ability to multi7task/ "t is not necessary to stop what you are doin! to
use the de'iceH it is au!mented into all other actions/ These de'ices can be incorporated by the user
to act like a prosthetic/ "t can therefore be an e-tension of the user:s mind and;or body/
12
A$0i!%t I%t!i#!%+!: Ambient "ntelli!ence 8Am"9 refers to electronic en'ironments that are sensiti'e and responsi'e to the
presence of people/ Ambient intelli!ence is a 'ision on the future of consumer electronics(
telecommunications and computin!/

"n an ambient intelli!ence world( de'ices work in concert to support people in carryin! out their
e'eryday life acti'ities( tasks and rituals in easy( natural way usin! information and intelli!ence
that is hidden in the network connectin! these de'ices/As these de'ices !row smaller( more
connected and more inte!rated into our en'ironment( the technolo!y disappears into our
surroundin!s until only the user interface remains percei'able by users/
S7'$+ Co+,*&g:
Smart clothin! is the ne-t !eneration of apparel/ "t is a combination of new fabric technolo!y and
di!ital technolo!y( which means that the clothin! is made with new si!nal7transfer fabric
technolo!y installed with di!ital de'ices/ Since this smart clothin! is still under de'elopment(
many problems ha'e occurred due to the absence of the standardiJation of technolo!y/Therefore( the
efficiency of technolo!y de'elopment can be stren!thened throu!h industrial standardiJation/ This
study consists of three phases/The first phase is selectin! standardiJation factors to propose a
standardiJation road map/The second phase is to research and collect related test e'aluation methods
of smart clothin!/ 0or this( we selected two cate!ories( which are clothin! and electricity;electron
properties/The third phase is establishin! a standardiJation road map for smart clothin!/ "n this
study( test e'aluations ha'e not yet been conducted and pro'ed/)owe'er( this study shows how to
approach standardiJation/ ,e e-pect that it will be 'aluable for de'elopin! smart clothin!
technolo!y and standardiJation in the future/

An Eye Tap is a de'ice that is worn in front of the eye that acts as a camera to record the scene
a'ailable to the eye as well as a display to superimpose a computer7!enerated ima!ery on the
ori!inal scene a'ailable to the eye/ This structure allows the userCs eye to operate as both a monitor
and a camera as the Eye Tap intakes the world around it and au!ments the ima!e the user sees

FUTURE SCOPE
%oo!le %lass is as futuristic a !ad!et we:'e seen in recent times/ "t:s limited in scope ri!ht

Reports show that %oo!le is tryin! to !et the appro'al by the 0## this year but there are already
se'eral hundred !lasses made for testin! internally/

CONCLUSION
%oo!le !lasses are basically wearable computers that use the e'ol'in! familiar technolo!ies that
brin!s the sophistication and ease of communication and information access e'en for the physically
challen!ed class of people those literally could not use !eneral way of palmtops and mobiles/

OVERVIEW
As per many reports( %oo!le is e-pected to start sellin! eye!lasses that will pro.ect information(
entertainment and( this bein! a %oo!le product( ad'ertisements onto the lenses/ These !lasses
will ha'e the combined features of 'irtual reality and au!mented reality/The %oo!le %lasses can use
a <% cell connection to pull in information from %oo!le:s mountain of data and display info about
the real world in au!mented reality on the lens in front of your eye/ As you turn your head you:ll !et
information about your surroundin!s and nearby ob.ects from %oo!le %o!!les( info on buildin!s
and establishments from %oo!le $aps( e'en your friends: nearby check7ins from Latitude/ The
company has no plans to sell ads into your newly au!mented 'iew of the world( but will consider it
if the product really catches on"
The !lasses are not bein! desi!ned to be worn constantly althou!h %oo!le en!ineers e-pect
some users will wear them a lot but will be more like smart phones( used when needed( with
the lenses ser'in! as a kind of see7throu!h computer monitor/%oo!le !lasses are basically wearable
computers that will use the same Android software that powers Android smart phones and tablets/
Like smart phones and tablets( the !lasses will be euipped with %3S and motion sensors/ They will
also contain a camera and audio inputs and outputs/Se'eral people who ha'e seen the !lasses( but
who are not allowed to speak publicly about them(said that the location information was a ma.or
feature of the !lasses/ Throu!h the built7in camera on the !lasses( %oo!le will be able to stream
ima!es to its rack computers and return au!mented reality information to the person wearin! them/
0or instance( a person lookin! at a landmark could see detailed historical information and comments
about it left by friends/ "f facial reco!nition software becomes accurate enou!h( the !lasses could
remind a wearer of when and how he met the 'a!uely familiar person standin! in front of him at a
party/ They mi!ht also be used for 'irtual reality !ames that use the real world as the play!round/

TECHNOLOGIES USED
,earable computers( also known as body7borne computers are miniature electronic de'ices that are
worn by the bearer under( with or on top of clothin!/ This class of wearable technolo!y has been
de'eloped for !eneral or special purpose information technolo!ies and media de'elopment/,earable
computers are especially useful for applications that reuire more comple- computational support
than .ust hardware coded lo!ics/ ne of the main features of a wearable computer is consistency/
There is a constant interaction between the computer and user( i/e/ there is no need to turn the de'ice
on or off/ Another feature is the ability to multi7task/ "t is not necessary to stop what you are doin! to
use the de'iceH it is au!mented into all other actions/ These de'ices can be incorporated by the user
to act like a prosthetic/ "t can therefore be an e-tension of the user:s mind and;or body/

DISADVANTAGES
#an be easily broken or dama!ed/ Thou!h %oo!le wants these !lasses to be as modest as
achie'able( they seem to be e-tremely breakable/ &sers will ha'e a tou!h time takin! care of
it/ These !lasses show the retrie'ed data in front of users eyes so it will be a tou!h
e-perience for them since they will focus on that data and will e'entually miss the
surroundin!s that may lead to accidents while dri'in!/
