#vint-ology a google glass app
DESCRIPTION
Thom Burnham and Carolyn Jannetti have developed an app for Google Glass called VintOlogy. VintOlogy is an app that has the ability to show you what a building looked like in the old days! Think of it has Ancestry.com for buildings. It has been presented to a panel of experts in the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. The panel included Sean Branagan @sean_branagan, Director for Digital Media Entrepreneurship at Newhouse, Dan Pacheco @pachecod, innovator in startups and innovation in journalism and digital media, Dan Shultz @slifty, Knight-Mozilla Fellow, and Kent Sutherland @ksuther, Co-Founder Flexibits and creator of Fantastical for Mac. Thom and I love discovering old photography, so we thought of a way to make it fun and easy to explore. So let us know what you think. Feedback from the public is the most important part!TRANSCRIPT
