Did You Preorder a Set of Project Glass Explorer Editions?

Later this month and early next month, Google is planning two hackathons in San Francisco (1/28-1/29) and New York (2/1-2/2) that they’re calling “Glass Foundry” for any developer who preordered a set of Glass from last year’s I/O conference. The two-day hackathon begins with an introduction and hands on session with Glass followed by a…

Patent Hints at Laser-Controlled Google Glasses

With Google’s Project Glass still very much in its awkward developmental stages, the best method of controlling it remains up for debate. This patent, though, suggests that a laser-projected control pad might be in the running. https://gizmodo.com/wsjs-exclusive-project-glass-trial-promising-but-diso-5942508 Currently, Project Glass uses a touch pad that runs down the side of one of its arms. Trouble…

WSJ’s Exclusive Project Glass Trial: Promising, But Disorienting and Uncomfortable

While there’s been no end of speculation about Google’s Project Glass, nobody’s actually had chance to try the technology out independently—until now. The Wall Street Journal’s Spencer Ante was lucky enough to try a pair of the glasses out for 10 minutes, and his verdict is mixed. He explains that the glasses weigh just a…

Google’s Project Glass Hits the Catwalk

Google glasses look dumb enough that you might expect to get beaten up for wearing them. But they’ve now made an appearance at New York Fashion Week and… they still look dorky, even on super models. https://gizmodo.com/a-man-got-his-ass-kicked-for-wearing-digital-eye-glasse-5926570 Admittedly, the glasses are really being used to record designer Diane von Furstenberg’s fashion show, in order to…

Could These Patented Smart Gloves Be a Google Glass Peripheral?

As if Google’s cyber-glasses weren’t sci-fi enough, the search giant is also apparently looking into cyber-gloves. The patent “Seeing with your hand” has been granted to Google, and could be the beginning of a future Glass peripheral. The patent outlines a glove with a camera on the fingertip, with gyroscopes and accelerometers built into the…

Google Glasses Could Automatically Disable Themselves if a Thief Rips Them From Your Head

There are still a million and one questions to be answered about Google Glasses, but the latest patent awarded to Google sheds a bit of light something nobody considered: what happens if your Google Glasses are stolen? As Wired points out, the patent in question describes a system that can detect when the glasses are…

A Man Got His Ass Kicked for Wearing Digital Eye Glasses That Looked Like Google Glasses

Google’s glasses may allow you to record images like nothing that’s come before, but they will also make you stand out. Like Dr. Steve Mann, who’s been developing wearable computing systems in the same vein as Project Glass since 1999. Sadly, though, he got beaten up in McDonald’s for wearing his own techno-glasses. https://gizmodo.com/this-is-the-secret-of-the-google-glasses-skydiving-demo-5922117 Mann’s…

This Is the Secret of the Google Glasses Skydiving Demonstration

It seems that there are some people that still just don’t get it, so here’s a photo to illustrate it. This image shows what the whole Google’s skydivers-with-eyeglass-webcam demonstration is all about: antennas. Yes, it’s a great demo for wireless Cisco routers and antennas. That’s the roof of Moscone Center. And that’s Sergey Brin. And…

Google Scores a Patent on Google Glasses Technology

The USPTO just awarded Google with a patent on an “integrated finger-tracking input sensor device” for Google glasses which pretty much means that there’ll be a trackpad on the side frame of the glasses. That trackpad probably means that the Project Glass system will be controlled with your fingers and not just your voice or…

This Is the First Video From Google’s Glasses

We’ve seen pictures taken using Google’s new glasses and, while some were ropey, others were fairly impressive. Now, Google has released the first video footage recorded using the device. https://gizmodo.com/proof-google-glasses-can-take-non-shitty-pictures-5908991 The clip lasts just 15 seconds, is shot in 720p, and is a first-person view from someone bouncing around on a trampoline. The quality’s not…

Oakley Is Making Its Own Google Glasses

As dorky as you’ll look wearing Google Glasses, the idea of augmented reality specs is dripping with potential awesomeness (and guaranteed hilarity). So it’s not a surprise that Oakley, sunglass king, is working on its own Google Glasses competitor. Maybe they won’t be as ugly as Google’s? https://gizmodo.com/google-glasses-first-look-would-you-wear-these-augment-5899091 I know, I know, we’re talking about…

The Five Funniest Google Glasses Parodies

Google’s Project Glass glasses aren’t available yet but the idea is undoubtedly exciting and could very well be the future. But until we actually get to wear them, we have no idea what they’ll be like. Hopefully, they won’t be as hilariously awful and physically harmful as these Google Glasses parody videos. Or actually… hopefully…

Jimmy Kimmel Joins the Google Glasses Mockery Parade
