Day 2 and 3 - First Public Outing with Glass

Saturday, March 22, 2014

I took Glass out in public for the first time today.  I was a little nervous, as I knew everyone would be looking at me!  I got over that after the first few minutes, though.  My husband and I went out to lunch at a restaurant in Denton called Rooster's.

On the way there, I played with the video feature:

Within 5 minutes of sitting down, I had someone come up to our table and ask how I liked Google Glass.  I laughed, telling him that I had only had it about 24 hours, but so far I loved it.  He laughed and returned to his table.

No one else approached us while we were at the restaurant. However, it did take TWO people to deliver our food to our table. (neither was our waiter)  Each one carried one plate!  They were both dressed in restaurant-manager style attire.  This encounter made me giggle for the rest of the day.

We went and picked up the kids from Grandma's house, and she was very excited about trying them on!  Grandpa wasn't interested...

Glass Day 2

Day 3 was not as exciting, as Sundays at our house involve getting the family ready for the coming school week. (laundry, making lunches, etc.)

We went to church in the morning, but I didn't feel that was an appropriate place to wear them.  I have been using my "where do I put my cell phone away" personal rules when it comes to the Glass.  If I wouldn't feel comfortable pulling out my phone and using it, then I'm not using the Glass.

We did spend the afternoon at the park, where I took several videos and pictures to test the Glass with outdoor shots.  I also practiced sharing the pictures with social media via Twitter and Facebook.  I'm excited about the Twitter feature and letting the older students Tweet pictures. (with guidance, of course!)  

My kids have enjoyed using it.  Daniel, my 10-year-old, seems to find it intuitive.  He loves Googling things like, "How do you say hello in Vietnamese?" Glass looks it up for him, puts the word on the screen, and pronounces it for him!  Claire, my 6-year-old, likes to listen to "Let it Go" while putting the screen on things and giggling.  "The screen is on your forehead!" Giggle giggle.
