A prototype of Google's augmented reality (AR) eyewear has been sighted according to a report from 9to5Google blog. The glasses, which resemble an Oakley Thump visor and run on the company's Android OS, are supposedly equipped with many cool features.

Besides a heads-up display function, an integrated camera and flash also enable users to take pictures. There's no need to fiddle with buttons, too, thanks to a head-tilting sensor for scrolling and clicking within the system's interface, as well as complementary voice controls.

No news on availability yet, but 9to5Google was quite adamant that the AR eyewear will be launched soon under a pilot program.
