Google + Photographers Conference – Sergey Brin and Project Glass

The Google+ Photographers Conference was full of surprises and great speakers from start to finish.  While sitting in a session with Scott Kelby I do not believe any of us knew what was coming when he said we had a surprise speaker in 20 minutes.  Everyone session wrapped up a little early and everyone headed to the main auditorium.

Everyone was surprised when Google came out talking about Project Glass and all the great things they had been doing with it.  There was even some pictures shared of the audience themselves and a photowalk that happened using the glass itself hours before.  The announcement and updated information was a pleasant presentation and great information.

Then the moment hit, Sergey Brin himself walked onto stage.  I am not one that usually gets wrapped up in the “I met the CEO of X” but everyone was amazed.  The G+ marketing team themselves was so amazed and please that Sergey took the time out of his day to address the crowd that formed together using a product from Google themselves.  ( Many of us have been on twitter, facebook, and Flicker, but face it, we have not formed the community of photographers we have now on any other platform)

 

Sergey gave a great speech and answered several questions about Project Glass and many other items going on with Google.  From the outsider perspective, it was nice to see someone in his position so excited about the company he is with, the potential that still remains, and the users they are serving.

Sergey was wearing the glasses himself and took a few images during the presentation.

I hear the glass prototype is now for sale….there are some amazing things they can do, but they will only get better and cheaper.  What else would you expect from a company that keeps pushing the limits.
