Google alters reality with futuristic glasses
On Apr. 4 Google gave the world a glimpse of its vision for letting people look at life through Internet-tinted glasses. Images showed people wearing eyeglasses with stylish silver frames that featured tiny cameras and on-lens displays to discretely show information such as walking directions, weather forecasts or messages from friends

Futuristic fold-up car makes its debut
A tiny revolutionary fold-up car designed in Spain's Basque country as the answer to urban stress and pollution was unveiled Jan. 24 before hitting European cities in 2013.
The "Hiriko", the Basque word for "urban", is an electric two-seater whose motor is located in the wheels and which folds up like a child's collapsible buggy, or stroller, for easy parking.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, right, and Jesus Echave, chairman of the HIRIKO-AFYPAIDA corporate consortium, unveil the first prototype of the HIRIKO electric vehicle, at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012. The car was unveiled during a large scale European social innovation initiative offering a systematic solution to major societal challenges: urban transportation, pollution and job creation
EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso looks at the first prototype of the HIRIKO electric car, during the global launch of Hiriko Driving Mobility at the EU Commssion headquarters on January 24, 2012 in Brussels, Belgium. The electronic eco-friendly vehicle will be manufactured in deprived areas of cities who take up Hiriko's "social purpose" model. Malmo in Sweden has already signed up to trial Hiriko with Berlin, Barcelona, Vitoria-Gasteiz (the second largest Basque city), San Francisco, and Hong Kong expected to follow suit.
