Google Co-Founder Sergey Brin has been dreaming and doing big and exciting things, and the R&D workshop he oversees with Google X released a very cool prototype for new technology last year, which at the time was called “Project Glass.”
Now, of course, with a few demos of Brin himself for the prototype of Google Glass, the company has produced amazing results with the product.
Essentially, it is a computer. It is hands-free. And, it’s a pair of glasses, too. Voice activated, the glasses are triggered by starting off with two magical words:
OK, Glass.
Google is actually looking for testers right now, and a handful of lucky people will be chosen from Twitterverse and Google Plus.
