Google Glass app brings augmented reality to Tesco grocery stores

The Google Glass wearable released in the UK back in June of 2014. There are groups who believe in the wearable as a strong product and has been trying to develop softwares for it. One of those groups is Tesco, a general UK grocer and retailer, who released their Google Glass Shopping App today.



The Google Glass app resembles only a fraction of what Iron Man would see in his helmet, but its a start. Saying commands like “OK Glass” and “find a product” or “scan a barcode” would be features display on screen. The Glassware will let you add to your shopping cart and view nutritional information as well.

The original video posted about 6 months back showed how the prototype app worked. Tesco says that it has changed substantially, but in terms of functionality - that's still basically the same Tesco says that it frequently tries to improve user experience.

Google Glass launched in the UK back in 2014 at a price of £1,000. With hope that the Google wearable will make a comeback, Tesco provides you the Glassware app for free. If you have the wearable, go give this new app a shot.
