"Google has released a lot of new information about Google Glass, including the specs and new tools for developers. It also slipped out a brief FAQ page on Glass, and it answers a few questions no one even asked.\nGoogle makes it absolutely clear that you shouldn't wear Glass while scuba diving, for example. Apparently, users shouldn't let the device come into contact with any liquids. \"Liquids can get into the electronic components, leading to corrosion.\" I guess that also rules out using Glass during a rainstorm.\nAnd if you were hoping to use Glass to record some video of your work on a construction site, you might want to think twice about that, too:\n\nCan I use Glass while operating a jackhammer?\nUse caution.\nGlass can\u2019t protect your eyes from \uFB02ying debris, balls, sharp objects, or chemical explosions. Using Glass while operating heavy or inherently dangerous equipment, or engaging in physical sports, could distract you, cause Glass to impact your eye, and lead you to harm yourself or others. So play your one-on-one Glass free.\n\nGood to know. The FAQ also cautions against using glass while driving a car or riding a bike, although it doesn't explicitly forbid it. Instead, Google strongly encourages users to be familiar with local laws and comply with them, in addition to \"always\" being careful.\nSEE ALSO: Google Glass Ready to Ship for Some Explorers\n\nKids under 13 should stay Glass-free, too, for two reasons: 1) The device \u2014 which creates the illusion of a 25-inch HD screen floating eight feet away \u2014 could harm developing vision, the FAQ says. And 2) Google's terms of service doesn't permit children under 13 to have a Google account, which is required to operate Glass.\nFinally, just in case you were wondering Google makes it completely clear: Glass isn't indestructible. Sorry, superheroes.\nStill have questions about Google Glass? Let us know what they are in the comments.\nBONUS: How It'll Feel to Wear Google Glass\n\n\nGoogle Glass: How It Will Look\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"OK, Glass...\"\nMore than a catchphrase, \"OK, Glass\" is how the wearer will engage the headset, enabling it to listen to commands.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTaking a Photo\nOne of the most basic things Glass will be able to do is capture photos of whatever the wearer is looking at.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecording Video\nSimilarly, the onboard camera will also be able to record videos.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuick Communication\nHere's how it'll look to receive a message.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlight Alert\nLocation-based or timed alerts will appear on Glass like so.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNavigation\nShowing maps based on the users point of view is potentially one of the most useful features of Google Glass.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGoogle+ Hangout\nGlass will be able to share the wearer's POV via Google+ Hangout.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrooklyn Bridge Query\nThe wearer can call search Google for answers to questions verbally.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrooklyn Bridge Answer\nAnswers to queries appear similar to how voice search in Google Now works -- giving the user the one answer that they're looking for rather than a series of links.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTranslation Query\nGoogle envisions that fast translations of single words or phrases will be a common query for Google Glass.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTranslation Answer\nHere's how the answer will look, accompanied by an audio pronunciation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Google"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
