Title:
Project Glass: Live Demo At Google I/O
-
Description:
At Google I/O 2012, the Project Glass team took product demoing to a new level. We worked with some of the world's top athletes, combined skydiving and mountain biking, and shared the experience -- through their eyes -- with the world.
-
--(Vic Gundotra) Sergey!
--(Sergey Brin) I’ve got a really cool event for you.
-
(cheers and applause)
-
(Sergey)How are you doing?
-
(cheers continue)
-
Guys, we're going to do something
pretty magical here.
-
And we have a special surprise for you.
-
We've got something
pretty special for you.
-
It's a little bit time sensitive,
so I apologize for interrupting.
-
You've seen some
really compelling demos here.
-
They were slick, they were robust.
This is going to be nothing like that.
-
(audience laughs)
-
This can go wrong
in about 500 different ways.
-
So tell me now,
who wants to see a demo of Glass?
-
(Cheers and applause)
-
So we've been really excited
to test it for a few months.
-
The unit I actually
really want to show you,
-
I lent to a friend,
and he's going to be here momentarily.
-
My friend's J.T.
-
He does a lot of skiing, base jumping,
wingsuiting, all sorts of crazy things.
-
And he's actually pretty close by.
-
He's just about a mile
overhead right now--
-
(audience laughing)
-
--with his buddies.
-
They have a few Glass units.
-
If you guys can maybe afford
to wait that couple minutes...
-
(audience applauds)
-
Maybe they'll bring them down!
-
(man in airplane) They're cheering for us.
-
All right, we're about to get
into a Hangout here with J.T.
-
- (Sergey) Hey, J.T., J.T., can you hear me?
- (J.T) Yes.
-
Hello, hello. We might have
a few technical issues.
-
(J.T.) Can you hear me?
-
Yeah, yeah. Hey, we're just
down here in Moscone.
-
I’ve got a few thousand people here.
-
I was hoping to maybe
get that unit that I lent you down here.
-
And I thought maybe you guys
-
could show us a fun time on the way down.
-
Yeah, if you can hear me down there,
-
I've been listening to your speech
through the Hangout.
-
- (J.T.) It's pretty cool.
- (Sergey) Cool, cool.
-
I see you and friends
are plenty close by there,
-
any chance we
can get a view out the window?
-
Heck, yeah.
It's beautiful up here.
-
we had a visual
on Moscone a minute ago.
-
(Sergey) All right.
This is a Hangout from Glass.
-
(audience cheers and applauds)
-
- (J.T.) Look at that!
>- (Sergey) Oh, yeah, yeah.
-
(J.T.) We're coming a little closer.
-
I think we're going to get you
that device pretty quickly, actually.
-
>>Sergey Brin: I see the roof of Moscone there.
So if you guys can, you know, be safe, but
-
get it down here in a hurry for us, we'd love
to watch that.
-
>>> Okay. Yeah, you'll have to standby. We've
got our wing suits. So we've got a pretty
-
good range. It's kind of interesting. People
have watched us fly many times before.
-
But I don't think that the world's ever tagged
along live for a ride. I mean, we're --
-
nobody really knows the outcome of this jump. We're
feeling really confident about it.
[ Laughter ]
-
>>> How are you feeling, Pete?
-
>>Sergey Brin: We're all rooting for you.
What do you guys think, should they go for it?
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
>>> Not in position yet. About one minute,
Sergey. Maybe you've got to entertain the crowd a little.
-
>>Sergey Brin: That looks like the view down,
that looks like a long way down.
-
>>> Turn it sideways.
>>> There's the ballpark.
-
>>> This is good. Stop here.
>>> Yeah, Moscone center. I've got a visual on you.
[ Laughter ]
-
>>> Okay.
>>Sergey Brin: So this is one of the things,
as we've been experimenting with Glass, just
-
the ability to really share. And we've posted
some pictures.
-
But as we start to experiment, being able
to share what you're seeing live is really amazing.
-
And, you know, we're not -- we don't know
what's going to happen here. These guys are
-
all really good. They're trained. And I have
great confidence. But this is -- this is a demo that --
>>> Yeah.
-
>>Sergey Brin: All right. Door's open. Door's
open.
-
>>> Let's -- we've got time.
>>Sergey Brin: All right. Happy flight!
-
>>> You know what? We can jump.
>>> Let's do it. It's going to be beautiful.
-
>>> It's going to be perfect.
>>> Yeah! Look at that!
>>Sergey Brin: All right.
-
>>> Yooo! San Francisco!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
>>> All right. Everybody's super happy.
>>> Nice and close-in there.
-
>>Sergey Brin: They've got to get to the right
place so they can hit the roof.
-
>>> Three, two --
-
>>Sergey Brin: I'm going to take a few pictures
to record this for posterity. And they're off!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: All right. And they're flying.
Look at that, look at that. You can see Moscone
-
right below there.
-
Live Hangout, through Google Glass. Four skydivers.
And they're under canopy. Chutes are open.
-
Woo-hoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: Okay. Where's Vic. Vic, hey,
look, this is a Hangout On Air.
[ Laughter ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: So it's a little bit tricky
landing on a building, as you might imagine.
-
I don't know if you have ever tried this kind
of thing before.
-
But you can see all their perspectives now.
They're going to have to line up one after
-
another to get down to the roof here.
-
It's a little bit of a -- it's a pretty big
roof, actually, which is great for their landing.
-
And you can see there's -- there's a little
yellow arrow they're aiming for.
-
It's pretty exciting. Hopefully, they land it.
-
All right. And they're coming in. First one's
coming in.
-
>>> Woo-hoo!
-
>>Sergey Brin: All right.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: Yeah!
[ Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: So, okay, folks, thank you.
Woo-hoo!
-
Hey, so the roof is a little bit big there,
so it would take a while to run down the length of it.
-
So we got, actually, a few bikers up
there for this eventuality.
-
We’ve got them wearing Glass, too. And there's
our little package. Let's see if we can --
-
let's see if we can get it here in a hurry.
-
Here we go. First person with Glass, here
are the bikers.
-
Yeah! Woo-hoo! Here they come down.
-
And, you know, there's only one good way down
the side of a building.
-
>>> Have fun.
>>Sergey Brin: It's pretty high up there if
you haven't been there before. Don't try this
-
at home, kids. These are trained professionals.
-
>>> All right. Now we've got to get down there.
Wanna unplug me?
-
>>Sergey Brin: All right, they're going.
Wait, wait wait wait, whoa, whoa, whoa! No,
-
we’re on the third --
Okay. Close call.
-
Sorry about that.
So this is pretty wild.
-
I've never seen that perspective before.
And --
-
>>> Special delivery. Bring that to Sergey.
-
>>Sergey Brin: We still have a couple of bikes.
Its a little bit of a long way. I apologize.
-
[Laughter]
-
>>Sergey Brin: Don't run anybody over!
[ Cheers and Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: All right. Please stay in your
seats, folks. Don't get into the aisles.
-
Please keep the aisles clear. Here they come up.
[ Cheers and Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: Yeah! Woo-hoo!
[ Cheers and Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: Yeah. That was awesome.
All right. That was pretty amazing.
[ Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: All right. A big round of applause
for our bikers.
[ Cheers and Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: I'll get a little picture of
you there with my Glass.
-
All right. We've got -- I just wanted to -- some
of our athletes who are performers I wanted
-
to give them another big round of applause.
We have the rappellers in the back. And --
-
[ Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: It takes a little while.
And we've got the -- let's see.
-
And the skydivers should be close behind them. Thank you so
much. That was amazing.
[ Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: Okay. All right. Thanks, guys.
[ Cheers and Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: All right. Now maybe we should
-- well, all right. Come on up, guys. You're
already here. Come on up, take a bow.
[ Cheers and Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: These are the rappellers, all
the bikers you saw up there.
-
And there's the sky diving crew coming down the aisle.
[ Cheers and Applause ]
-
>>Sergey Brin: Hey, J.T., that was amazing.
We were worried about you. That was awesome.
-
All right, thank you all so much.
Now maybe we should tell you a little bit about Glass.
[Laughter]
-
>>Sergey Brin: All right, guys, have fun.
You can meet them.
-
They'll be out and around if you want to chat with them.
Thank you so much.
-
Now, here's what -- no, no. This is the wrong
one.
[Laughter]
-
>>Sergey Brin: I think we have to do it again.
[Laughter]
-
>>> I'd be happy to.
-
>>Sergey Brin: We'll find the time. We actually
might have the time.
-
If you want to see behind the scenes and maybe catch some of that activity
on -- through Hangout, tune in tomorrow.
-
But now I just want to tell you a bit about
how we made that happen and why we're so excited
-
about Glass, and to tell you that I have Babak
and Isabelle. Please welcome them aboard.
