Google Glasses Designer Gives Us An Up Close Look
"Olsson is the senior industrial designer on the Google Glass project and has spent the last year working at Google's X Lab to design a piece of technology that will sit in front of people's eyes. The glasses, according to Google's video, will be able to do everything from search the Internet and show you maps right in front of your eyes.

On the front of the glasses, in the top left (or right depending on which way you view them) corner is a small camera and a small glass-looking box, which is a tiny display. On the top of the glasses is a power button and a camera button. You control the screen's interface with the touchpad on the leg of the glasses.
"The touchpad is all hidden. There's no texture, it extends all over," Olsson describes. She explains that when she adjusts it sometimes it looks like she is deep in thought.

Olsson also wouldn't discuss what the display looked like from the other side -- the interface and what it looks like overlaid in the real world. However, she did come back to that distraction point and emphasized that her and her team made sure to put the display above the eye. "We placed the display above the eye not in front of it; I want this to be immersive, but not distracting."" via ABC News
