Google invites Glass wearers to brave LA's beaches

April 19, 2014

Users of Google Glass will get to meet and compare their techie headgear this weekend at a spot where appearance is everything. On Saturday in Los Angeles, the Internet company is holding a 3.6-mile run from its offices in Venice to the Santa Monica Pier and back. They’d better hope it’s a cloudy day: Instead of sunglasses, runners will be sporting Google’s face-mounted computer, Glass. (Though Google, conveniently, is now selling clip-ons.) Anyone who owns one of the US$1,500 devices can participate. They’ll even get to try out fitness software on Glass made by Strava, which makes a GPS tracker and performance analytics software for athletes. That way they can see how fast they ran while trying to be discreet taking celebrity photos.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
