Here is what Google's new contest can lead to you owning

Google has been going on about its Glass augmented reality eyewear for years, and the time has finally come for people to own one.

Sure, it's part of a contest, and it's really more of a test run than anything else, but a few lucky people will get one to call their own.

Everyone should have an idea of what this is all about though, so Google has published a demo video of how it feels to use the Glass.

Embedded above, the video shows the eyewear take a picture just by telling Glass to do so (“take a picture”).

It also includes an instance of the device translating speech into text and sending a message or notification.

Getting answers to questions is part of the feature set as well, as is getting directions to wherever you are trying to go.
