The Midnight Show Films First Sketch Comedy Skit With Google Glass

While people are busy worrying about someone taking a picture of them walking down the street, all I can think about is the potential Google Glass has for online videos. While highly portable technology like the GoPro has been on the market for quite some time, Google Glass definitely gives an alternative avenue for filming in first-person. The Midnight Show's newest skit explores the wonders of Google Glass in the best way they know how, jokes and violence!

The Midnight Show's Heather Anne Campbell was one of the few lucky folks chosen to take an early look at Glass, and it seems Google couldn't have picked a better candidate. I imagine some YouTube stars might be filming their next vlog in the mirror, but judging from this, Heather will be pumping out some great content with Glass.

The First Google Glass Short Film

Interesting timing. On the same day that the Apple unveiled the next generation of their product, Google dropped this video of a film captured using the companies newest augmented reality eyewear product, known as Google Eye and Project Glass. The glasses supposedly weigh less than a pair of sunglasses, and are integrated with memory, a processor, a camera, speaker, microphone, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi antennas, an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass and battery to boot.

I can't help but be excited by the possibilities of this product, especially due to the fact that it falls into an all new mass market tech product category and the quality looks amazing (If it's not mocked up). And with a launch date of 2014, they should definitely have some time to streamline and improve the design of the glasses. I'll definitely be getting one of these day one, I've been stuck on augmented reality ever since discovering Ghost In The Shell.
