Google busted out the coolest tech demo ever at Google I/O last night — a mid-air Google+ hangout powered by Google Glass. Now you can watch mind-blowing thing in action for yourself, and get a peak behind the scenes of a pre-presentation jump. This is what Google Glass was born for.
I have to say, as a way to show off a wearable computer, that was an absolutely genius idea. Yeah, Google Glass might be the future of personal wearable computers, but I want them strapped to every extreme sports star there is so we can all just enjoy the ride without risking broken bones and serious injury. Hell, imagine watching a goal from the perspective of Rooney, Ronaldo or even the goalkeeper — that’d be amazing. [Google]
This Is How You Refuel Jets In Mid-Air
This Smokestack Looks Like It's Sliced Up and Floating In Mid-Air
Slinky Falling in Slow-Mo Looks Like It's Floating in Mid-Air
Thankgod. It’s always been such a pain to update Facebook/G+ at terminal velocity.
To be honest it is not too different from having a head cam on, sure it can do more but if you are going to video a sky dive then whats wrong with a camera stuck to your helmet (on your head)
Can you use those head cams as a phone? Lol
No but can you get a phone signal that high and even if you could do you reckon it would be a decent phone call? WHATS THAT? I CANT HEAR YOU!!
Well it’s not “Google Glass For Skydiving” .. it’s a phone you stick on your face. They’re not saying everyone should go out and buy one of these so they can jump out of planes with them.
Sam, The video is not of the live Hangout jumping/biking/abseiling/biking again demo, just a prerecorded jump, which they used at the end of the keynote and I guess would have used in place of the live demo if there had been problems with it.
He did put this was a pre-presentation jump.
“get a peak behind the scenes of a pre-presentation jump”.
He may well have changed it since I e-mailed him about it before posting. If not, then I appologise for missing it.
What a way to waste a sky drive, the glasses are blocking 1 of his eyes!
When Google’s paying, I reckon you’ll get as many skydrives as you like to make up for it.
Ronaldo’s would be streaked with tears.
What an absolutely disappointing video. Where’s my altitude, temperature, velocity, etc. HUD displays? Surely the whole point of this video should be to make a iron man HUD clone.
All work in progress, I can see the potential of say the Google Play store bringing things like that for various sports/activites
I thought it was an ad for panty liners.
