Okay, it's great to be back at TED.

0:00:03.115,0:00:05.699
Why don't I just start by firing away with the video?

0:00:05.699,0:00:10.442
(Music)

0:00:10.442,0:00:15.573
(Video) Man: Okay, Glass, record a video.

0:00:15.573,0:00:19.464
Woman: This is it. We're on in two minutes.

0:00:19.464,0:00:23.284
Man 2: Okay Glass, hang out with The Flying Club.

0:00:23.284,0:00:28.033
Man 3: Google "photos of tiger heads." Hmm.

0:00:28.033,0:00:30.437
Man 4: You ready? You ready? (Barking)

0:00:30.437,0:00:36.981
Woman 2: Right there. Okay, Glass, take a picture.

0:00:36.981,0:00:39.524
(Child shouting)

0:00:46.655,0:00:50.149
Man 5: Go!

0:00:51.556,0:00:54.735
Man 6: Holy [beep]! That is awesome.

0:00:54.735,0:00:57.370
Child: Whoa! Look at that snake!

0:00:57.370,0:01:01.502
Woman 3: Okay, Glass, record a video!

0:01:06.678,0:01:10.530
Man 7: After this bridge, first exit.

0:01:33.813,0:01:37.164
Man 8: Okay, A12, right there!

0:01:37.164,0:01:40.405
(Applause)

0:01:40.405,0:01:45.653
(Children singing)

0:01:46.810,0:01:50.228
Man 9: Google, say "delicious" in Thai.

0:01:50.228,0:01:53.441
Google Glass: อร่อยMan 9: Mmm, อร่อย.

0:01:53.441,0:01:57.473
Woman 4: Google "jellyfish."

0:01:57.473,0:02:01.813
(Music)

0:02:08.793,0:02:11.730
Man 10: It's beautiful.

0:02:11.730,0:02:19.473
(Applause)

0:02:19.473,0:02:25.377
Sergey Brin: Oh, sorry, I just got this message from a Nigerian prince.

0:02:25.377,0:02:30.028
He needs help getting 10 million dollars.

0:02:30.028,0:02:31.278
I like to pay attention to these

0:02:31.278,0:02:33.946
because that's how we originally funded the company,

0:02:33.946,0:02:38.067
and it's gone pretty well.

0:02:38.067,0:02:39.793
Though in all seriousness,

0:02:39.793,0:02:42.985
this position that you just saw me in,

0:02:42.985,0:02:45.417
looking down at my phone,

0:02:45.417,0:02:49.609
that's one of the reasons behind this project, Project Glass.

0:02:49.609,0:02:52.191
Because we ultimately questioned

0:02:52.191,0:02:54.707
whether this is the ultimate future

0:02:54.707,0:02:57.697
of how you want to connect to other people in your life,

0:02:57.697,0:03:00.051
how you want to connect to information.

0:03:00.051,0:03:03.745
Should it be by just walking around looking down?

0:03:03.745,0:03:06.633
But that was the vision behind Glass,

0:03:06.633,0:03:13.262
and that's why we've created this form factor.

0:03:15.223,0:03:21.955
Okay. And I don't want to go through all the things it does and whatnot,

0:03:21.955,0:03:23.323
but I want to tell you a little bit more

0:03:23.323,0:03:27.021
about the motivation behind what led to it.

0:03:27.021,0:03:31.282
In addition to potentially socially isolating yourself

0:03:31.282,0:03:33.839
when you're out and about looking at your phone,

0:03:33.839,0:03:38.697
it's kind of, is this what you're meant to do with your body?

0:03:38.697,0:03:40.330
You're standing around there

0:03:40.330,0:03:41.698
and you're just rubbing

0:03:41.698,0:03:43.531
this featureless piece of glass.

0:03:43.531,0:03:46.255
You're just kind of moving around.

0:03:46.255,0:03:49.724
So when we developed Glass, we thought really about,

0:03:49.724,0:03:52.921
can we make something that frees your hands?

0:03:52.921,0:03:54.404
You saw all of the things people are doing

0:03:54.404,0:03:55.947
in the video back there.

0:03:55.947,0:03:57.032
They were all wearing Glass,

0:03:57.032,0:04:00.087
and that's how we got that footage.

0:04:00.087,0:04:03.186
And also you want something that frees your eyes.

0:04:03.186,0:04:05.908
That's why we put the display up high,

0:04:05.908,0:04:07.357
out of your line of sight,

0:04:07.357,0:04:10.084
so it wouldn't be where you're looking

0:04:10.084,0:04:11.184
and it wouldn't be where you're making

0:04:11.184,0:04:13.305
eye contact with people.

0:04:13.305,0:04:16.183
And also we wanted to free up the ears,

0:04:16.183,0:04:20.189
so the sound actually goes through,

0:04:20.189,0:04:23.686
conducts straight to the bones in your cranium,

0:04:23.686,0:04:27.230
which is a little bit freaky at first, but you get used to it.

0:04:27.230,0:04:29.693
And ironically, if you want to hear it better,

0:04:29.693,0:04:32.334
you actually just cover your ear,

0:04:32.334,0:04:37.446
which is kind of surprising, but that's how it works.

0:04:37.446,0:04:40.487
My vision when we started Google 15 years ago

0:04:40.487,0:04:41.804
was that eventually you wouldn't

0:04:41.804,0:04:45.277
have to have a search query at all.

0:04:45.277,0:04:48.567
You'd just have information come to you as you needed it.

0:04:48.567,0:04:50.965
And this is now, 15 years later,

0:04:50.965,0:04:53.405
sort of the first form factor

0:04:53.405,0:04:55.070
that I think can deliver that vision

0:04:55.070,0:04:56.745
when you're out and about on the street

0:04:56.745,0:05:00.501
talking to people and so forth.

0:05:00.501,0:05:04.047
This project has lasted now, been just over two years.

0:05:04.047,0:05:06.557
We've learned an amazing amount.

0:05:06.557,0:05:09.573
It's been really important to make it comfortable.

0:05:09.573,0:05:13.652
So our first prototypes we built were huge.

0:05:13.652,0:05:15.861
It was like cell phones strapped to your head.

0:05:15.861,0:05:18.920
It was very heavy, pretty uncomfortable.

0:05:18.920,0:05:22.121
We had to keep it secret from our industrial designer

0:05:22.121,0:05:23.925
until she actually accepted the job,

0:05:23.925,0:05:27.209
and then she almost ran away screaming.

0:05:27.209,0:05:29.781
But we've come a long way.

0:05:29.781,0:05:32.869
And the other really unexpected surprise was the camera.

0:05:32.869,0:05:35.366
Our original prototypes didn't have cameras at all,

0:05:35.366,0:05:38.531
but it's been really magical to be able to capture moments

0:05:38.531,0:05:41.093
spent with my family, my kids.

0:05:41.093,0:05:43.726
I just never would have dug out a camera

0:05:43.726,0:05:46.285
or a phone or something else to take that moment.

0:05:46.285,0:05:51.334
And lastly I've realized, in experimenting with this device,

0:05:51.334,0:05:55.399
that I also kind of have a nervous tic.

0:05:55.399,0:05:59.443
The cell phone is -- yeah, you have to look down on it and all that,

0:05:59.443,0:06:01.940
but it's also kind of a nervous habit.

0:06:01.940,0:06:04.887
Like if I smoked, I'd probably just smoke instead.

0:06:04.887,0:06:07.305
I would just light up a cigarette. It would look cooler.

0:06:07.305,0:06:10.726
You know, I'd be like --

0:06:10.726,0:06:12.801
But in this case, you know, I whip this out

0:06:12.801,0:06:14.829
and I sit there and look as if I have something

0:06:14.829,0:06:17.642
very important to do or attend to.

0:06:17.642,0:06:20.866
But it really opened my eyes to how much of my life

0:06:20.866,0:06:25.271
I spent just secluding away,

0:06:25.271,0:06:28.483
be it email or social posts or whatnot,

0:06:28.483,0:06:29.930
even though it wasn't really --

0:06:29.930,0:06:32.911
there's nothing really that important or that pressing.

0:06:32.911,0:06:35.614
And with this, I know I will get certain messages

0:06:35.614,0:06:37.116
if I really need them,

0:06:37.116,0:06:41.211
but I don't have to be checking them all the time.

0:06:41.211,0:06:44.191
Yeah, I've really enjoyed actually exploring the world more,

0:06:44.191,0:06:48.912
doing more of the crazy things like you saw in the video.

0:06:48.912,0:06:50.940
Thank you all very much.

0:06:50.940,0:06:55.971
(Applause)
