Google has unveiled a pair of futuristic glasses – reminiscent of a Star Trek prop – as part of a bid to introduce wearable computing into the mainstream technology industry.

The slim line device fits around the forehead, with a small screen in the top right corner to transmit information to the wearer.

In a short video released on Wednesday, the wearer is seen taking pictures, checking the weather, getting directions, and placing a video call, all of which are controlled using voice activated icons that appear in the user's field of vision.

Android software is believed to power the gadget, enabling similar features to its smartphone and tablets.

A 3G or 4G data connection, motion sensors and GPS navigation are believed to be included in the device's capabilities.
