Sergey Brin Demos Google Glasses Prototype

Posted by samzenpus on from the have-you-ever-seen-it-on-google? dept.

MojoKid writes "Folks have been clamoring for more on Google's Project Glass and Sergey Brin — one of the co-founders of Google — is now burying himself in the R&D department associated with its development. Recently Brin appeared on 'The Gavin Newsom Show' with the prototype glasses perched on his face. The visit was actually a bit awkward as you can see in the video, as it's a lot of Brin and Newsom describing what they're seeing via the glasses with no visual for the audience. However, Brin dropped a bomb when he stated that he'd like to have the glasses out as early as next year."

    I'll pair these with the hated headphones from the previous story, and occupy my own, private digital HELL!

      More like Google Goggles. Or just Googgles?

      Will you claim it in a StreetView van? Will you claim it as a Google fan?

      I will not claim it in a van, I will not claim it as a fan.
      I do not like this prior art, I do not like it Sam Thou Art.

    Every geek wants a pair of these yesterday. As soon as Google can get a version of them ready to go, I predict they'll sell like...well...not hotcakes, but probably like Android based phones.

      Couple these with the Google butt-plug, and Sergey will have covered all the exits!
