Yesterday was a day filled with Glass and geekery. The special Viewpoint of Billions exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery (@NPG) was open during the weekend, with a special exclusive showing for #GlassDC Explorers in the morning. In the evening, there was a GlassDC meetup where the technology and story behind the exhibit was shared by Det Ansinn (@detansinn) from BrickSimple (@BrickSimple).
On artist David Datuna’s site you can find the interaction between the audience and the piece, through recorded videos that capture the reponses of the glass-wearing viewers.
There was the piece itself at the National Portrait Gallery, and then there was the performance of it – record numbers of people, upwards of 7,000 visited in just one day. That says something about the public interest in wearable technology.
While there, we discussed the concept of a State of the Glass Union, and set up a meetup accordingly – it will be held at the US House Triangle (appropriately so). See you there -> Hear the #SOGU (State of the Glass Union) – Google Glass – Washington DC (Washington, DC) – Meetup
Of course there are photos of the exhibit taken by Google Glass.
