Google has updated its Google Glass product to allow users to access a full web-browser, along with more hands-free commands.
In a blog post, the company said it has now updated Glass to read text messages aloud and answer calls with voice commands.
A new feature has also given users the ability to send messages to any of their Google contacts.
The Google Glass product has captured the attention of the tech world for the past few months, but it has come under increased scrutiny as well.
Privacy advocates have protested the technology, pointing out the problematic nature of users wearing a camera capable of filming anyone, no matter where they are.
