Google fellow, founder of Project X and
self-driving car pioneer Sebastian Thrun became the latest to publicly rock a
Project Glass prototype (after company co-founder
Sergey Brin) on a recent episode of
Charlie Rose,
and managed to show off a whole new side of the project in the process.
While the 19-minute interview was mostly unremarkable product-wise with
a focus on
higher education
and his Udacity project, we did get to see him take a picture of the
host (about a minute in) by tapping it, then posting it on Google+ by
nodding twice. Also, as
Electronista points out, in a brief
reverse shot (17:20) of Thrun we see for the first time what appears to
be a small battery pack / transmitter portion lodged behind his ear. Of
course, we're still not any closer to rocking the latest in
bionic man-chic ourselves, but at least we can start getting fitted for one now.
