- At Google I/O 2012, the Project Glass team took product demoing to a new level. Come with us and see how we spent the weeks leading up to the Google I/O demo ... living in the moment, doing Hangouts in Air, and freefalling with Glass.
Best. Product. Demo. Ever.
Why am I posting this again? BC it was just so damn cool. Well, that and it's my Googleversary today-- this was one of the most memorable moments of the year.
That's funny, I rewatched the IO keynote yesterday too, specifically the dive.
Well, the skydiving demo was awesome, but this video featuring some interesting video takes the cake for being cool. It's awesome to see skydivers, what's more awesome is using Google Glass to record their flights down. Good music as well, it fits the extreme skills of the skydivers.
The point is they made a streaming camera in a form-factor usable enough for extreme conditions. If it can be done in that environment, it can be done practically anywhere. That's quite empowering to me.
It tells you this product has incredible potential for capturing things in a way normal cameras/phones can't

2022 anyone?)
These are shot from the Google Glass "augmented reality scouter" project, so they are a much truer perspective (as far as what your eyes actually see) for all the first-person shots. This is an extension of the first released photos with Google Glass, which were the first-person perspective of a father swinging his child around, with both hands in the photo. The photo was taken from the eye's perspective, handsfree at will. Capturing your own vision at will, with video... is this. Amazing.
I've been waiting for this for over a decade.
ok now lets be realistic people who the F#CK would go skydive with $1500 glasses on your head??
Why not? If your head hits the ground, I doubt you're going to be concerned about your glasses...
+Donovan Long I don't think is talking about falling to your death with the glasses on...he is saying that anything can happen like if the glasses fall off your face or if you don't nail the landing and they get broke.....He isn't saying that the person is dumb for wearing 1500$ glasses because the very worst can happen

For the ones who are interested the song is called
Quiet Little Voices by We Were Promised Jetpacks
I tried skydiving and I loved it. Would do it again and again if I could. 13,000 ft.+ is pretty amazing you get to see the area in a whole new way.
This is definitely on my "bucket list". 1) voice lessons to strengthen my voice, 2) I would love to learn how to Tango, etc..., 3) Skydive. 4) Go back to hawaii
I love how google uses songs that arent popular, but sound amazing, requiring us to hunt the song down, leading to having new favorite artists.
I started a skydive course after this video lol That´s so amazing! Thank you google!
This is the new dimension of Google.Its really wonderful. I am happy...
Just for those who don't know what the song playing throughout the video is, it's Quiet Little Voices by We Were Promised Jetpacks. :)
THOSE WERE THE GLASSES I WAS WAITING FOR
"Normal cameras." I'm glad you find the quality of the video on the glasses so good that you think they are using traditional HD cameras. From what I have read, everything is film from the glasses.
The technology we had before and the technology we have today, lookin back its pretty amazing and mind blowing right?
Our world keeps inovating more and more.
Awesome.... I really LOVE Skydiving & Paragliding... When I was Teenager, I saw Dragon Ball Z... and ever since then i have a dream of Flying.... And with GLASS i juts LOVE it
Love this video. I can't wait to get my own pair of Google Glass!
Wow, this product could really change the course of IT technology one day.
People need to get over that. Google isn't at war with Apple (yet). Apple is at war with Google. Props to Google for taking the high road and not getting into a slugging match.
Indeed. It was interesting to hear Sergei nearly lamenting that omission in the behind-the-scenes video.
No, what I mean is the picture quality when recording. If you ever tried to film something while walking, you often get this shake, from everytime your feet hit the ground, something you don't notice normally, but the camera picks up, unless it has antishake function.
Sergei explained on G+ that it was for the specialized radios needed to communicate with the base stations while a mile above the earth.
I don't know why but this video makes sky diving look SO much more fun than I ever thought it would be.
Its a song called "Quiet little voices" made by "We were promised jetpacks". Really good band, check out their other stuff like "Medicine"!
Incorrect. If you read Sergey Brin's Google+ Post,
"The aerial footage was captured on Glass. The higher fidelity footage was recorded locally on the device whereas the hangouts were live streamed at a much lower resolution because of the challenges of networking a skydiver inflight." " Because we were unable to get regular wifi (which is built into Glass) to work under those conditions, we had to use extra networking gear which was tethered via usb to the device"
Go-Pro was not used.
Supposedly it was all shot using the glasses: "The higher fidelity footage was recorded locally on the device whereas the hangouts were live streamed at a much lower resolution because of the challenges of networking a skydiver inflight"
It's more than that. The camera is only one feature. It's a Heads-up display device with all the added features of a phone with augmented reality.
People at the I/O could preorder unpolished developer glasses for 2013 (going at $1500), so that means consumers will probably get the final version sometime in 2014.
its not a webcam glasses with added bluetooth to communicate with devices such as a phone, but it is a smartphone itself that you can wear, and have an augmented reality screen in front of your eye.
The track is "We Were Promised Jetpacks - Quiet Little Voices", just in case anyone likes it.
For all of those which do not understand, its about glasses recording in HD/HQ!
This is one of my wish lists.
WOW ! I see it as look at the possibilities !!! I think it would be almost impossible to carry a camera or cell phone around all day every day to make videos . But a pair of glasses that's ingenious !!!
Well, hands-free video has been done via helmet cams for quite some time now. What Google did was package mobile phone technology into a lightweight head-mounted unit. Glass has many more sensors that a simple helmet cam does which leads to rich media with multi-faceted context.
Agreed. I own an iOS and Mac OS X user but I'm excited for these.
Tec is getting bigger and brighter for us to use
Glass not only record images, it can project things like on a HUD directly on what you watch, it will bring augmented reality in a pretty cool way i think. It even has a microphone and a speaker, maybe in a few years it will just replace smartphones, with clouds it will be amazing.
Hope all will become real :)
Actually, they do. This functionality was demoed prior on G+ during a TV interview.
Glasses! a new era!!!
I can never figure out how these kind of videos get dislikes. People who hate awesomeness?
This is the Google we miss 🥹
The video is demonstrating its use as a point-of-view video recording device, and the amount of immersion that goes hand in hand with that. I thought that was obvious. It's not designed to be a spec trailer.
When Vegeta attacks, he'll be happy to know that he can replace his scouter after he smashes it.
I think it's YOU who made the assumption that this device was intended for immersive AR. Clearly, it's not, otherwise it'd have a binocular display and be line-of-sight. It's "augmented" in the sense that it offers limited at-a-glance information, but that's their design decision to make. Other companies can and are currently developing devices with much richer experiences. For now, we all play the waiting game until they're released.
Hold on just a sec, no one skydives without... skydive glasses! One would be just unable to open his eyes.
this is so awesome. definitely one of my dreams in llife
They're showing off the recording capabilities of the Google glasses. Them jumping was all recorded with the glasses, not anything like a GoPro camera or anything.
Some people have no vision for the future. Yes, a real-time camera in glasses is HUGE! This kind of tech will change human social interaction forever for good or for ill. Personally, I can't wait until a functional camera is placed in a contact lens.
Google Tech. is making our Life Style Better
They'll probably make prescription glasses with this built in. After all, this is basically (from what I can tell) a pair of glasses with plastic/real glass covering the eyes and a little camera or whatever built into the side. So they'll probs just add the tech to normal glasses.
Just to be clear, all the footage was filmed with the glasses. The footage on the screen was just blurrier because it was from a lifestream.
Recording in HD isn't an issue. Even streaming it over a network isn't a problem. The real issue is that the network in question is the wireless carriers' cellular networks, which are dog slow, unreliable, and spotty. Apparently, you can't even rely on them 1 mile above ground (most likely due to the cell towers' relatively flat radiation pattern).
AWESOME!!! Great quality images, can't wait to try out the actual camera!
If you look closely, it is Google Chrome on a Mac, not Safari.
So much possibility they could have shown off here, but didn't. Altimeter, distance from other skydivers, speed, freefall time...
The song name is = We were promised jetpacks - Quiet little voices
They are augmented reality glasses, but with a camera built in.
i don't give a fuck about sky diving. when the glasses are comming out? GUYS YOU ARE KILLING US!!
i think this is only the beginning, they've got years of work to do before the glasses are done, right now they've just got a camera connected to the internet, nothing special, but there's tons of potential.
Theyre skydiving with mobile heads up displays that can link video between the ground and every skydiver up there all powered by a mobile phone. When you think about it thats pretty epic.

Well, they've also got a crude head-tracking mechanism via the typical mobile sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.) for menu navigation on the microdisplay.
hey hey! camera is not the main feature of google glasses! it also has a virtual reality display over the right eye. That's the attraction. And also the camera will help in the google goggles app running on the google glasses!
Good job buys, already looking forward to Glass' commercial release
Man if google and apple worked together on a set of super devices, if you will, they will be the most innovative and integrated pieces of equipment we will ever get to see. Although that will most likely NEVER happen, i hope that they think about it.
I believe the glasses will become a nerd stigma rather quickly, like USB headsets. Consider though that they will someday be incredible for live journalism, police work, warfare, revolutions...
Most tech lovers are having nerdgasm's over them right now, but average buyers will shy away from them.
Find it (the song is): We Were Promised Jetpacks - Quiet Little Voices
This is amazing, holy shit.
if you pull this off google I will love you.
You might get more luck with that next year when the I/O attendees get their Explorer Editions.
song is We Were Promised Jetpacks - Quiet Little Voices
It's funny how people automatically assume that Google must be as vindictive as Apple.
It basically has a phone in it with a transparent microdisplay. So, yeah, developers can hack whatever information they want on it, provided it's supplied with the proper sensors.
..no, not at all. It's quite a bit more than that. The goal is for it to provide all the features a smartphone currently does, on a virtual heads up display, a form of augmented reality facilitated by voice navigation and eye tracking. Check out their concept video for a better idea. Just look up Google Glass concept video.
It apparently demoed that these glasses are capable of livestreaming and broadcasting what you see to the internet. Surprised it doesn't actually SAY that though.
Yeah!! Great way to begin Everyday.. : ) testing equipment! Looks Fantastic!!
glasses are so freaking awesome!
This is truly innovating
This actually showed what the Google HUD Glass's camera were recording :P
That's what Sergei was commenting about at I/O. Application-specific UI.
Amazing Project!
"Do not open door in flight" I DO WHAT I WANT!
I love how people are taking this seriously.
p.s. I did not said CAM in glasses is not a future. But, this is not many people waited from that. Second, in a lot of countries it is lawlessly to hold glasses with a CAM inside.
recording in high quality with your glasses. awsome
Although, the social implications would be interesting to work out. You wouldn't be able to discretely trash talk someone on Facebook while in the same room because that other person would see it immediately. Sure, that could happen today with modern smartphones, but real-time facial recognition could superimpose the comment in a speech bubble right next to the poster! A much more satisfying visceral experience.
I don't even wanna think about streaming HD over a capped cellular connection. You'd burn through your quota in a day!
Google, any chances of having the full clip from I/O, from the time Sergey rushed the stage with the announcement and putting up the skydivers up on the big screen ? The whole thing was unreal, I would love to relive that moment again!
I don't think even that was the intent. They just wanted to show that one aspect (Hangouts) worked. Video quality doesn't really factor into it. If it did, they'd have used better image sensors.
Just one step closer to bio-mechanical augmentations. My body is ready...literally.
yeah...so this means when my glasses get hacked, I'll be stalked upon for the rest of my life...um, no thank you
Every shot in this video was captured on Glass.
That would just been the difference between the 'recorded' and 'streamed' video... They're obviously not streaming in HD yet. That doesn't mean that the glasses can't record at higher resolution.
pa ovo je dozivljaj.snovi ili stvarnost -bravo legendarno.
I'd imagine it'd work the same way any pair of glasses do. Same goes for your standard mobile phone. Any shock you can take, it can as well.
You know what'd be badass for the viewer?
Something that shows their angle of attack, pitch, speed and altitude. That shit would be hella-useful. Also up the resolution on the camera.
