Google has unveiled the Nexus 7, a rival to Apple's iPad, Amazon's Kindle Fire, and Samsung's Galaxy Tab - along with its augmented reality glasses.
The gadgets were revealed at a conference in the US city of San Francisco.
The Nexus 7 will go on sale in America in July, costing about £130.
The internet-connected augmented reality glasses will be available in 2013, said the internet giant.

The launch of the Nexus 7 has made the market for tablets even more crowded - with several models all competing for customers.
The Nexus 7 has a smaller screen than the iPad, but it's similar to the Amazon Kindle Fire and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
Microsoft's own tablet, the Surface, is also a competitor.
Google used the conference to reveal another surprise new product, the Nexus Q, a spherical device which connects to TVs and hi-fi systems.
It's amazing to think that as little as two years ago hardly anyone was using tablet devices.
T-Mobile USA CEO Steps Down Following Failed Sale to AT&T - Bloomberg
Vodafone Group Plc (VOD) appointed Philipp Humm as chief for northern and central Europe and Paolo Bertoluzzo as head of its southern European business as the mobile-phone company revamps its operational structure.
Humm joins from Deutsche Telekom AG where he had been Chief Executive Officer of the T-Mobile USA unit since 2010, Vodafone said in a statement today. Bertoluzzo will continue as Vodafone’s Italy chief in addition to his new responsibilities, the company said.
Vodafone is creating two new operational regions with the northern and central Europe unit comprising Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands, Turkey, Ireland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania. The southern Europe region includes Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Albania and Malta.
Humm will start his new job on Oct. 1. He and Bertoluzzo will join the company’s executive committee, Vodafone Chief Executive Officer Vittorio Colao said.
Deutsche Telekom announced yesterday that Humm will quit as T-Mobile USA chief, leaving Deutsche Telekom AG (DTE)’s U.S. division in search of a replacement as it tries to recover from a failed sale to AT&T Inc. (T) last year.
