Glass2OK, we admit it. Google Glass has captured our imagination. Here are the ones off the bridge of our noses. Want to add yours?

  1. 1. LieToMe – This app examines the expressions on the faces of people talking to you, checks against a database of expressions and gives you the percentage probability that the person is lying to you.
  2. 2. Jade – This app measures the dilation of the pupils of a person talking to you, compensates for ambient lighting, and rates your real-time desirability on a scale from 1 to 10.
  3. PinPoint – This app allows precise location sensing, down to inches, based on triangulation to nearby Wi-Fi hotspots, whether you’re logged onto them or not. It can be used with the following app.
  4. Marker – This app records your geospatial coordinates on command and recalls them upon request. So if you put your keys down, say, “Marker: Keys.” Also good for walks in the woods.
  5. ProScan – In phase one, you scan a device, such as a TV remote, then, by saying something like, “ProScan: Remote” your field of vision is scanned for any object resembling the remote. Also applies 3-D rotation to the scan to be able to detect the object in different positions.
  6. Bang! – Analyzes any recent noise through stereo microphones and indicates the direction the sound came from.
  7. TagMe – Labels any point in the recorded video stream for instant recall. You can also specify a range, such as “Tag minus 30” to show the 30 seconds of video before the tag.
  8. Gripper – Tightens the earpieces to your head, if excessive motion away from the ideal wearing position is detected.
  9. Cat – If your glasses fall off, this device causes the glasses to twist so that they land on the earpieces, which act like springs to absorb the impact.
  10. GetMyBack – Connects with any publicly available surveillance camera that can see you and displays the view.
  11. Speechless – Provides a socially appropriate response to the most recent comment by a person talking to you, in case you can’t think of one.
  12. Alcohol – Subtly modifies the image of the person in front of you so that they look much better.
