If your like me, you love Google in certain parts.
One of the parts I do love is the open nature of their innovation and research.
Project Glass is a reality (my bets was on Project Looking Glass) as I suspected and correctly put into my recent SMC ignite talk. Better still, its something their researching about in an open way, as they gather comments and views
Its something I would like to do more of at BBC R&D. Me and my manager battle (in a nice way) back and forth about when’s the best time to be open or go public? In this case he would be right, the video captures the idea perfectly and although its not real yet, its enough to get people talking and commenting.
Open innovation certainly comes to mind… Nytimes has more details. But join the conversation and add what you think!
Update… Don’t forget to check out Tom Scott’s take (the piss) on Project Glass 🙂
