Google Glass is still in its infancy, and its current capabilities are quite limited, but most would probably agree that the possibilities it opens are endless.
How cool it would be if Glass could show us a GPS route as we rode a bike? What if you could use it to scan any barcode and instantly get info about the product?
Toronto-based creative agency Playground has envisioned these and many other possibilities for Glass and created a video showing what could be the future of Google Glass.
What's best about this video is that almost none of the "features" shown in it seem far-fetched or impossible. In fact, most of them could rely on existing Google services, such as Google Maps or Google Goggles.
Playground explains the background behind the video in a detailed blog post.
"All of our examples are actually possible right now. Smartphones (batteries not included) have enough raw processing power to run this software today. If only current batteries were ten times more efficient and there was a robust native hardware API for Glass. Well, it’s coming. Sooner than we think," says the post.
