GOOGLE GLASS“WELCOME TO A WORLD THROUGH GLASS”

• Create a closer relationship with technology.

• Move away from technology that competes with real life

• Ex: Take pictures and record videos as you experience them. Allows you to capture the experience and remain in the moment.

• There when you want it, gone when you don’t.

• Ex: Glass is not in field of vision. Remain connected to what you doing.

By bringing technology closer, we can get it more out of the way.
