People already use smartphones as a travel guide during their holidays, but instead of constantly having to look at your phone screen, can Google Glass enhance the experience? Travel company HolidaysPlease is lending Google Glass to selected customers to find out.

Project Glass is a lightweight, context-aware pair of spectacles which projects your social and search data onto your field of vision, as and when you need it. Its purpose is to make technology invisible so people can start living again.

As experiences – 'memorable events that engage people in inherently personal ways' – become the predominant economic offering, what are the implications for businesses and organisations?

The long publicity trail of Google Glass has not always been kind. Yet amid privacy debates and the global recognition of the 'Glasshole', doctors have made progress with Glass in terms of how it can improve healthcare, from remote diagnosis to hands-free interfaces.
