and today for the first time on any podcast ever it's Bridget Carey and Google glass on her face on my face what's technology on my face you can control it three different ways as you figured already good you're a voice yeah or you can there's a side panel here oh my gosh this is a touch panel was like a fun dipstick I I can tap it to turn on the screen oh look at that you can see the screen turn on and now you can see little light so that's how you know i'm looking at something right it's only if you don't see anything that's just the clear panel and but you'll know I'm busy I can flip through photos i'm takin its yeah that I you can see it we see the mirror I see it in the camera too it's moving around like that yeah and if I go to the other direction think of it as a bunch of cards in front of you just like you're cycling through so if I go another direction I get weather if I set it up on google now I would get things that I that it knows i'm doing like maybe following my local sports team yeah or other information I'm sorry fight but when people are using this I don't know love their eyes look up you seen them so your eyes look up like you're thinking about something it actually looks kind of silly probably that I'm always kind of rolling my eyes guys look silly ah it's like you're thinking really hard ok glass yeah this is crazy picture the voice activation seems to work pretty well even if other people are talking around you like if you're in a crowd or something have you tested that out in public um yes yes and I think you can set it off ok glass take a photo not yet there's a bit of a learning curve is a third way there's a third way to turn it on dammit gloss I'm also noticing you you're a woman I'm noticing that I'm noticing that you have long hair and I'm noticing is getting in the way right it's getting in the way I want to have that long flowy awesome futuristic look and yet I'm like all right got a clip it yeah talking to Scott Stein yesterday he wears glasses he couldn't fit them on top of his glasses no this is this is something where I they'll eventually have a way for people glasses to wear it by the only one that's just like slapping my forehead over this this is this is the experiment the reason it is so expensive and hard to get is because they're just trying to give it to developers to make apps / I always should be fun so now what is adjustable on there so you have a band that comes around this is very flexible well lady mo I don't feel like I'm gonna break it yeah um although I should probably stop we'll make sure that the one thing you want to do when you're wearing it is you want to make sure that this little screen is above your eye I'm looking at you I can't see anything yeah I know that am I your peripheral yeah it's that there's there's something fuzzy but I think I can talk to you you can and there's nothing in front my face and I look up right take interact with it i look back down so the only really way to get the screen to pop up because right now you're looking at me we're having a regular conversation this greens off I don't the only way to tilt my head and now it's on Oh head till creepy oh I can tap it the other thing I wanted to ask you about is if you've tested out the audio because that was the one big key features that it uses binaural audio right I think she's actually a video that you can hear this yeah those too but you hear it and you don't hear it through your ears you technically hear it through the skull it's the bone conduction yeah they said and yet I think you can hear the chimes you can hear that yeah I could you know when it took so so it's um it's it's not exactly silent to the world around you so have you worn this out in public yet people giving you weird looks people immediately um came up to us and we're like is that google goggles yeah like Oh guys eat a picture of you with it and yeah i think what you find are people who are excited cuz there's they're like techies who know and other people who kind of like I think I've seen this in the news before right and you get stares one thing that was interesting I was talking to someone I go go ahead for two months and I said well have you changed in two months of using this far as I'm just getting giddy playing with everything just like it's small things for example she still took out her phone to check the time and all her call co-workers were like what do you do in man just look up this tells your head up yeah there it is and she's like wow those small little things that we're used to doing and I think it's something that we need to reiterate that this is basically more or less type in the sense that it's it's really not for everyone right now it's it's a lot of money right how much is it this was fifteen hundred dollars that's not counting tax really just for developers who are interested in developing for this google glass platform I was just trying to see if it fits well while running right doesn't move I imagine there might be Fitness uses for this in terms of seeing my like distance or like yeah there's accelerometer you know what I want it for I want someone to make like a golf app for it I want to be able to wear it while I play golf and and see the the flag in the distance and tell me how far away the absolutely that with a lot of different sports actually cool for like a pool environment like see exactly what trajector you have to hit the ball yeah that's straight up cheating I've been smart enough to right now give you directions so how much it better is it as a driver to just kind of glanced up then to go wait where's my phone right no that's not dangerous to that alright well have fun with it come back let us know what you think when you really dug deep it would be interesting to be an explorer yeah so to say for sure you
