What Google's Streeview page for the Metropolitan Museum in New York City might look like in Google Glass.

Last week, Google revealed project Glass. Google Glass is a new software and hardware platform designed to help users explore and share their world, by putting the user “back in the moment.” Interestingly, Google’s “Glass” video did not include paid advertisements, virtual reality simulations, video display and did not make any clear references to integration with other Google properties. There are already competitors for Google’s Glass hardware and several different prototypes are currently being tested.

In addition to the clear prototype revealed last week, when Google Glass is made available to the public, expect to see a shaded version that incorporates video monitoring functionality for integration with other Google products like GoogleTV, YouTube, Google Earth, Google Streetview and Google Maps.
