The new generation of Google Glass actually takes pictures like this

According to a Google patent document, Google Glass can take a photo by releasing the frame with your hands.

In February 2015, Nest CEO Tony Fadell took over Google Glass and teamed up with Luxottica CEO Massimo Vian and Silicon Valley center Mountain View to develop two new devices for Google. Nest said it would redesign Google Glass and found Luxottica, which owns the Ray-Ban and Oakley eyewear brands. Luxottica also participated in the development of the first generation of Google Glass lenses.

Google Glass was first released to Google Glass Explorers on April 15, 2013. The new generation of glasses allows users to guide the glasses to take pictures by holding their hands in front of the glasses to match the picture frame. Google's patent filing for this technology shows how the Google Glass head-mounted device will detect gestures and take pictures.

Use your fingers to draw a square, rectangular or circular area, which acts as a "near-eye display". The glasses lens will move forward and take a picture of the scene in the area. Your hands can be right in front of the glasses or at arm's length away.

Users use gesture frames to let Google Glass know where to shoot. Once you decide how to shoot, the glasses will take a photo the moment you separate your hands.

In the past, the price of Google Glass was a barrier to its success in the consumer market. To address this problem, Google is targeting the users of the new generation of glasses at corporate enterprises, creating apps to help manufacturers and project managers improve efficiency and communication.
