OK Glass was the wake phrase for Google Glass, the head-mounted wearable computer Google began showing publicly in 2012 and released to early explorers in 2013. Saying the two words activated voice control, after which the wearer could ask for directions, take a photo or send a message without touching the device. Although Glass never became a mainstream consumer product, the phrase entered tech culture through launch videos, demos and parodies, and it remains a handy shorthand for talking to a gadget, especially when a creator wants a scene to feel futuristic or voice-controlled.
About this sound
The clear 'OK Glass' voice command from Google's smart glasses, spoken to wake the wearable device. Creators use it for tech jokes and futuristic edits.
This short clip captures the spoken wake phrase 'OK Glass' in a clear, neutral voice, delivered in over two seconds with a calm, electronic tone. It sounds like someone addressing a pair of smart glasses, pausing briefly after the two words as if waiting for a command to follow. The effect is instantly recognisable to anyone who followed Google's wearable experiment, giving a scene a futuristic, hands-free feel without needing any explanation. Dropped into an edit, it signals that technology is about to respond, turning an ordinary moment into a sci-fi interaction and making the viewer expect a command, a search result or a gadget gag next.
