Fans of Google’s Project Glass
got a good look at the sci-fi technology in action at Google I/O on Wednesday.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin took the stage at the
conference for a live demo of Project Glass. Brin was able to talk to a group
of skydivers in real-time using the special Google glasses. The skydivers
broadcast their jump from just above the Moscone Center in San Francisco via a
live Google+ Hangout — and for the audience at home.
Seeing the Google Project Glass video streaming
technology in action was nothing short of breathtaking. As promised, users get
to “see” exactly what the wearer of the objects can see — in this case a
breathtaking glimpse of the San Francisco skyline.
If the aerial jump wasn’t enough, Brin sent
Project-Glass equipped BMX riders to pick up the jumpers, showcasing a
first-person view of scaling walls and doing flips off the side of the
building.
The demo went off without a hitch. Google I/O is
still being broadcast live, but I will embed a video of the demo as soon as it
is available.
