How Does IP Law Affect The Technology In Google Glass?

Until very recently, the concept that machines could identify and respond to images was as far-fetched as a cyborg being sent back in time to kill a future leader. And the first time you hear of the capabilities of some of the newest wearable consumer products they seem almost like science-fiction.

One example is Google Glass, a pair of internet-connected spectacles, which combine visual recognition software with voice and gesture control. The glasses use cameras to identify what the wearer can see and then to display related electronic images in the field of vision. For example, if the wearer looks at the Eiffel Tower then the Wikipedia page for the landmark might pop up.
