In an attempt to revitalise the reader's relationship with print media, a Japanese newspaper has hatched a concept to integrate its daily edition with Google Glass.

Demonstrating the tech at Tokyo's Wearable Tech Expo 2014, Asahi Shimbun's Media Lab is experimenting with augmented reality layered over a physical copy. By placing special markers on a page, relevant and complementary digital content is flagged up on Google Glass - providing a sort of rich-media companion service to the paper.
Dubbed AIR, there's currently no release date yet on the horizon, but this application for augmented reality could be considerably more useful than others - as it follows the user's line of sight, rather than the slightly unwieldy process of scanning something with a smart device.
Although the project is built by a third party, Google seems to be hedging its bets by integrating itself further in our day to day lives, particularly in the realm of wearable tech.  It recently announced a stylish version of the Android operating system specific to smart watches, and even created a concept design for a Google-brand contact lens that could potentially track glucose levels in diabetes patients.
