Google Glass – Meet Your Ideal Virtual Assistant in Google Glass
Google’s latest invention, Google Glass, offers its user various functions. It can even serve as a virtual assistant that you can wear on your head and take anywhere with you. Virtual assistants are known to provide professional, technical, and creative assistance to their clients. With Google Glass and its immense functionality, its capability to access the internet, and its irrefutable presence it, you can have you VA anytime, anywhere.
Google Glass covers a wide range of functionality from picture taking and video recording to accessing your business e-mails and transactions. Taking pictures with a smartphone is you taking pictures with a smartphone. Taking pictures with Glass is you commanding Glass to take a picture by saying “Ok, Glass, take a picture”, and Glass taking pictures. This is where the ideal virtual assistant comes in. You give commands and the device does the work for you.
Because it is capable of connecting to your other devices (smartphones and tablets) through Bluetooth, and to the internet, Google Glass can access your text messages and e-mails and can be commanded to read them for you. You can also compose text messages by simply dictating the words and Glass will type it and send upon your command. Plus you can allow your VA to access your personal messages and you won’t hear them gossip about your personal life, or even judge you.
Your virtual assistant will also be able to research on anything you ask it to in real time and will give you instant solutions. It also capable of storing information about your habits and give you reminders about them like what time you leave for work or when your golf tournament will happen. It practically memorizes your actions and preferences that it eventually predicts your needs. This reminds me a little about the movie “Click”, which is a little creepy. Google Glass also provides you with travel advisories, flight information, and directions, and practically all information you might need in your daily transactions and activities.
Lastly, you can take full advantage of your virtual assistant without ever considering that it’s human too and needs rest and sleep, or to eat, or that you live in different time zones (except of course you still have to charge your device every once on a while). Without these limitations, you can call on your VA anytime of the day, whenever you need it. You also don’t have to worry about an assistant who bugs you every time with a lot of questions since it simply does what you command it to do.
