Google Glass Heading to Film School Class
The tech giant has revealed to The Hollywood Reporterits plans for the Glass Collective, a partnership with film schools including USC, CalArts, RISD, UCLA and AFI, which will each be loaned three sets of Google Glasses for the fall semester. The goal is to get curious students to check them out, become comfortable with their voice-activated interface and built-in video cameras.
"We got Google Glass just before the opening of the new Interactive Media Building on June 12," says USC School of Cinematic Arts dean Elizabeth Daley. "That's when George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and Don Mattrick, the president of Microsoft's interactive entertainment business, told us about how not all entertainment, but certainly some entertainment, is going to become more immersive. And Glass is quite wonderful because you get that immersive experience without elaborate headsets."
