"There are a few buttons on the arms of the glasses, but otherwise, they could be mistaken for normal glasses," News.com.au quoted Weintrub, as saying.

According to the report, the device that is said to operate via Wi-Fi Internet connection or Bluetooth, has been developed in the search giants secret "Google X" laboratory.

If the rumours of these computer glasses turns out to be true, the technology could be the first step towards doing away with touchscreen technology altogether.
