Google Demos ‘Glass’ With Crazy Skydiving Stunt
To show off a prototype version of its “Project Glass” augmented-reality eyewear announced last winter, Google required an airship, four wingsuits and parachutes, sign-offs from local and federal government agencie, favorable winds and — not least — reliable mobile broadband.
The craziest stunt I’ve ever seen at a technology event came about an hour and a half into the keynote opening Google’s I/O developer conference at San Francisco’s Moscone West conference center Wednesday morning. Google co-founder Sergey Brin barged onstage to interrupt a demo by vice president Vic Gundotra of an Events invitation service for its Google+ social network.
