GOOGLE GLASS“WELCOME TO A WORLD THROUGH GLASS”
• Create a closer relationship with technology.
• Move away from technology that competes with real life
• Ex: Take pictures and record videos as you experience them. Allows you to capture the experience and remain in the moment.
• There when you want it, gone when you don’t.

By bringing technology closer, we can get it more out of the way.
