Publishers Weekly 17 May 2013: "Using a combination of voice commands (“take a photo”) and the touchpad, a user can do a google search and get answers or ask for turn-by-turn directions to your hotel, as van der Lingen outlined to our group during the demo. As we noted earlier, there are a lot of things Google Glass does not do. Indeed, it does not call up web pages like a computer (you can’t “click” hyperlinks—there are none), you cannot run “apps” on it and currently there is almost no content designed specifically for it, although the New York Times provides headlines and short abstracts of its daily issue though nothing with any detail. That said, Google Glass mostly works. Of course the notion of “reading” a book on the tiny hovering screen seems beyond possible at this point but this is the earliest iteration of Google Glass and who knows what further development will bring?"
