Google Glass Unboxing (Explorer Edition)

2013-07-05
hey what is up guys David here from foam buff and in this video I have a very exciting unboxing for you guys with Google glass so earlier this year I was invited into Google's Explorer program for glass and just last week I had the opportunity to go out to one of Google's campuses in Los Angeles to pick up this Explorer edition of glass which came in this black bag here so inside the bag you have this main box which has the actual unit inside of it and then you have these two smaller boxes for the attachable shades and shields taking a look around the main box and you'll notice that google win with a very simplistic design just white black with nothing but a sticker on the top left letting you know that this unit is an explorer edition of glass list the color which in this case is charcoal black and tells you the box is made up of 100% paper with a little joke letting you know that you can write a letter to your grandma or otherwise recycle it the two smaller boxes for the shays and shield have that same simplistic design as the main box with nothing but a picture of what's inside and a couple of glass logos okay so I'll unbox the shades and the shields in just a minute but right now I'm gonna get straight into unboxing what you guys have been waiting for so without any further ado I'll go ahead and pull off this top cover and just to be straightforward with you guys I want to let you know that I actually did unbox this once before when I was at Google for a little bit of training but I did manage to keep everything intact so it looks just as a would when its brand new so for right now I'll go ahead and move off the Google glass unit to the side and first thing you see inside the box is this microfiber cloth type pouch that you can actually put glass into for protection you know glass doesn't Bend like a normal glasses so definitely something nice to have don't know if I'll use it all that often but definitely think I should anyways the next thing you see inside the box is this micro USB to USB cable which just like the Box on the outside is white on one side and black on the other the wire itself is all black but the little ends are white and black and the charging brick same story you have black on the bottom and white on the top so it's kind of cool to see you know this simplistic design going throughout the whole Google glass experience last thing inside the box is this little envelope here which comes with some paperwork of course and it actually comes with some differ sighs nosepads so you can get that Custom Fit going for you with Google glass which definitely something nice to see because you know if it's not comfortable you probably won't wear it but that is pretty much it for the box like I promised we'll go ahead and unbox the shields in the shades so when I first ones at Google's campus I don't know these things were called shields so I was wondering why Google even included them but after the Google employee told me that there are called shields it made perfect sense I mean if you have a convertible car or if you drive a motorcycle and you want to use Google glass at night which I don't know if it's the best idea but anyway you want to use them at night having these clear almost goggle type shields makes perfect sense cuz it protects your eyes from the wind and also lets you actually use glass without you know drying your eyes up but I didn't think about it it's nice that Google did I mean kind of shows you that you know just like with the nose pads they're thinking of everybody so that way you could actually use this you know in real life not just you know in theory but here it is it comes in this microfiber cloth you know pouch almost just like with the actual pouch I showed you earlier you see the Google glass logo in the middle and now pulling them out they're just clear and go ahead and show you the shades because these are what I'm actually gonna be using more often than not so as you can see these look like your typical shades with the exception of course that they're made to custom-fit to Google Plus so on the back you have this XC logo which stands for Explorer edition on the top right you have this curvature which is used to wrap around the actual glass unit and speaking of which I want to show you how to attach it because I did find it a little bit tricky so we're says XC there's actually a little ridges where the bands on Google glass will actually wrap around so you put it in vertically turn it slowly to the right because you are gonna be kind of stretching the bands and once you get it all the way up there they actually snap back to give you that good snug fit all right so with the unboxings out of the way and the shades on we're ready to do the product tour so first thing we'll take a look at is the front of course where you'll see the actual glass and Google glass where the display is shown and to the left of it you see that wide-angled five megapixel camera on the right side of glass the portion that would sit right behind your ear is where the battery stored and towards the front you have the touch panel which is actually all touch sensitive all the way into that line that separates it from the camera on the inside of the right you have a sensor that detects whether or not you're wearing it you have a power button to turn glass on and off and lastly you have a speaker that actually vibrates sound into your skull so you could hear up top you have nothing but a button that you can press to take pictures or hold to record videos at the bottom you have your micro USB port for charging and data transfer and finally at the back of the right you have an LED light that lets you know when you turn the device on and off as for the rest of glass you have a titanium band the wraps all the way around to your other ear on the left side of which says designed by Google and manufactured in California and lastly you have these nose pads which are adjustable by pinching oh and one more thing when you actually look at the glass piece from the left side it acts like a little mirror which is something that was pretty cool okay so there's just a quick look at Google glass and I have to tell you I'm super excited to have the opportunity to use these things on a daily basis then I know you guys are excited about it too so if
