[color=rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Georgia, serif;]Glass is compatible with prescription glasses. Turns out that [/color][color=rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Georgia, serif;]its "design is modular, so you will be able to add frames and lenses that match your prescription,"[/color][color=rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Georgia, serif;] though the team is still working on the frame design to get it juuust right.[/color]
 


App developer hopes to use Google Glass to help the blind see
[color=rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;]Glass will offer the head mounted camera needed to get the job done, and the platform for Glass will allow it to run standalone from the unit itself instead of connecting to a phone. [/color][color=rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;]Glass uses bone conduction to transfer audio directly to the inner ear, instead of relying on a headphone jack. In order for this app to work, the developer will either need to come up with a new sight to sound translation system, or the app will only work when paired with an Android phone.[/color]
