Google Glass, Baidu Eye, Apple… Start of a New Era?

Google recently showed a prototype demo of a new technology called google glasses. It’s a futuristic visual device that you can attach on your glasses and everything will show just like in the sci-fi movies.

Take a look at this official video if you haven’t seen it yet,

I kind of laughed the entire video because everything was staged and edited. It was not the actual thing. The actual google glass may get close to what it shows on the demo. Imagine you are walking on the street and it is analyzing everything it sees.

This one is even better:

But from a marketing perspective I have to say “Well done google!” this is something new and going towards a new direction.

Facebook introduced their family of apps on smartphone while google is just one step ahead to create a brand new marketplace. Baidu another search engine from China announced a similar product called “Baidu Eyes” –right after google.

So what would it like to have a smart glass instead of a smartphone? The possibilities are endless. You can search, shop, listen to music, watch videos and call your friends. Suddenly wearing glasses will be cool.

How will your websites look like on the smartglass platform? There will be room for wider display because your screen is not limited in pixels.

Since new technologies are emerging, I highly recommend you to claim your local business or shop on the maps.

Having your business listed on the map will help people walking on the streets with these smart devices be able to find you easily.

Adding your listing to Google Places for Business is free, and Google doesn’t accept payment to include particular listings or sites in our search results. However, we do offer locally-targeted advertising through Google AdWords Express.

To add your business on google places, visit this link –sign in with your google account and add your business. You will then receive a postcard in mail with a verification code. Verify your listing and your business will appear on google places/maps.

Your business place page will integrate with google plus and users can post photos and write reviews about your business.

So go ahead and prepare for attracting more customers to your business with the help of new technology. What are your thoughts? And why stay limited to just glasses, go for contact lenses
