Have you always been worried about protecting your $1,500 Google glass from theft? Now you can safeguard your phone from theft as Google, on Tuesday, was granted a special patent approval for its Project Glass. The patent called theft-deterrent system has been designed for preventing theft of the pricey glass.
Designed by Mountain View's X lab, the new technology will enable your Project Glass to identify "unnatural" movements not caused by the wearer. While it cannot stop the stealing, it can lock the Head Mounted Display (HMD), disabling it to protect personal data and send alert to police.
Moreover, the new patent will enable the device to determine whether the wearer is the actual owner of the glass and disable the software in case it senses that it has been worn by a stranger.
Google's Project Glass was revealed at this year's I/O conference. The futuristic, Internet-connected glass comprises of a tiny camera, display screen and processor fitted over the upper corner of a pair of glasses. The glass displays information, transmits video or still images before a user's eyes.
"This is new technology and we really want you to shape it," Google co-founder Sergey Brin said at the Google I/O conference for computer programmers in San Francisco. "We want to get it out into the hands of passionate people as soon as possible."
