Early in 2012, the tech world was buzzing with the news that Google was about to release a wearable augmented reality device. Enter Google Glass<\/a>.\u00a0 Google Glass puts augmented reality right in front of your eyes, literally!<\/p>\n

\"Sergey-Brin-Wearing-Google-Glass\"<\/a>Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google models Google Glass earlier this year.<\/i><\/p>\n

There has been plenty of hype surrounding the product since it\u2019s preview early last year, and we have seen examples how Google Glass can be used to take a picture, record a video, or get directions.<\/p>\n

But what else might one do with Google Glass?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To activate Google Glass, you start by saying \u201cOK Glass\u201d. Then you ask Google Glass to show, do, or tell you something. So let\u2019s give it a try:<\/p>\n

Lets start with a simple question. \u201cOK Glass, show me the weather forecast at the Australian Open today\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/a><\/p>\n

Imagine sitting courtside at the Australian Open and wondering what the weather is going to be like for the afternoons play. Up pops the current weather conditions. It\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n

Google Glass has the ability to overlay all kinds of information in your field of view. So let’s try this:<\/p>\n

\u201cOK Glass, show me Federer\u2019s second shot placement\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/a><\/p>\n

Imagine sitting courtside at the Cincinnati Open and wondering where Federer had previously played his second shot after Novak\u2019s return of serve. Bam, up pops the trajectory lines of Federer\u2019s second shot to show you where he\u2019s likely to hit his next shot. Excited yet? Let\u2019s try one more example.<\/p>\n

\u201cOK Glass, show me a stroke pattern heat map\u201d<\/p>\n

\"French<\/a><\/p>\n

Imagine sitting in the stands at court Philippe Chatrier\u00a0and wondering where this player is going to hit his forehand? Google Glass\u00a0immediately\u00a0overlays the stroke pattern right onto the court so you can see where his shots have been passing on the court. Wow!<\/p>\n

These images are a few quick examples that I put together to show you the potential of Google Glass in tennis. Google Glass will enhance our viewing experience of tennis (and all sports) by 10 fold!\u00a0Sitting court side, we will be able to control when we see the stats, what stats we see and for how long.\u00a0Whether it is seeing a live heat map, or 3D ball trajectory the potential is endless.<\/p>\n

Of course, if tennis analytics isn\u2019t your thing you may find Google Glass useful to find a friend in the crowd, or to video a point and share it on Facebook. You might even ask Google Glass for directions to Arthur Ashe Stadium!<\/p>\n

The real time visualization of sports statistics and Google Glass are a match made in heaven. Let\u2019s hope the ATP, WTA, and ITF fast track the delivery of real time tennis analytics to everyone so when Google Glass goes live, the game and our eyes will be ready!<\/p>\n
