Google Glass infographic
I made an infographic on about „how Google Glass works“. As an artist I’m interested in visual perception, visual eyetests and glasses. So I checked out the patent (No. 212686, Aug. 2011) for Google’s Glass and made an infographic that explaines in an easy to understand way how it works. In conclusion it’s not a usual glass but more a kind of a projector that projects an visual layer over reality (augmented reality) – directly on the retina. The main element is the semi-transparent prism. Of course Google Glass is an technically masterpiece because it combines a lot of stuff (camera, phone, CPU incl. GPS) in a very small enviroment. Here the infographic:

More informations about this on my site „Brille-kaufen.org“. It’s a german site that helps people with informations before they buy a new glass. Here the article (engl.): „Google Glass (infographic) – How it works“ Feel free to use and share it, but please don’t forget to mention my name as author and the linked site :-)

Really very informative. Thanks for sharing so informative inforgraphic Martin, hats off to you.
Great infographic. Many people are still curious to how Google Glass works, and this displays a nice, simple diagram. I’d love to see a more detailed, technical „schematic“ if there’s one available?
Nice infographic.
Some images of Google Glass show the combiner angled the other way round.
