My Experience with Google Glass: A Hands-On Review

As I held Google Glass in my hand, I couldn't help but feel a sense of skepticism. It's a phone on your face, after all. How does it hold up compared to our standard smartphone cameras? Today, I decided to take it out for a spin and show you the results.

I started by taking Google Glass to my local park and neighborhood. I was pleased to find that it does a pretty good job of capturing colors within its environment – the grass, nature, trees, and so on. However, I have to say that it's not quite up to par with the standard smartphone cameras we're used to seeing today, which often come equipped with 1080p video and more impressive finite detail capabilities.

I think this is a pretty good job for what it is, though. The main reason you might not be hearing any audio in the video is that Google Glass has a somewhat sensitive microphone, which picks up on the wind and essentially drains out all the audio in there. This can be viewed as a negating factor to Google Glass, but I think it's really just a beta kind of technology that we need to grow accustomed to.

One activity I decided to showcase in this video is using a three-legged "power swerve" generated via your hips. To generate this power, you simply have to move left to right, and you can get up to some pretty insane speeds – 15 miles an hour, to be exact. I consider that pretty good for a recreation device like this, but keep in mind that it's a bit shaky, and there's no built-in stabilization.

Despite the lack of stabilization, I think Google Glass does capture nature pretty well. Next up, I went to a place called Extreme Trampoline, which has become a phenomenon with activities today. The goal was to see how well Google Glass captures images while jumping in the air – simple enough! I'd just dunk a foam ball in a net and capture it. However, when I tried doing flips on trampolines during filming, my trusty Google Glass kept falling off.

To truly finalize out this test, I took some pictures up in a lake house surrounded by real nature. This was the best way to showcase what Google Glass can do, if you ask me. You can definitely see that there's a bit of noise when looking far away, but that's to be expected with a 5-megapixel camera. The camera does hold its own well, though, especially for close-up shots.

I will say that I enjoyed cooking some chicken on the grill and capturing it with Google Glass. It really shows how well it captures color and can even do so at distances – just look at those beautiful images! In conclusion, I'd like to thank you guys for watching this video. If you enjoyed this video, go ahead and give me a thumbs-up button to let me know that you're hungry for more Google Glass content. Thanks again, and I'll see you in my next video!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enGoogle Glass has been an absolute treat to use it has found a way into my life and which at first I was really skeptical on mainly because it's a phone on your face how does the 5 megapixel camera hold up as well as 720P HD video today I'm going to go ahead and show you the video demo as well as the pictures I've taken so I took Google Glass to my local park and around my neighborhood and I think it does a pretty good job of capturing all the colors within you know the grass the nature the trees Etc but it's not up to your standard with the standard smartphone cameras that we see today you know coming with 1080p video and really being able to capture finite detail but again I think this is a pretty good job for what it is the reason why you're not hearing the audio now is Google Glass finds a way to find the wind the microphone is somewhat sensitive and really just drains out all the audio in there and that can be viewed as a negating factor to Google Glass but again it's really just a beta kind of technology that we're going to have to grow accustomed to so the activity I'm doing in this video here is I'm using a three-legged kind of power swerve is that's what I call it at least in poers generated via your hips you need to move left to right and you can get up to some really insane speeds I mean 15 mil an hour I I consider that pretty good for a recreation device like this um but keep in mind here it is a bit shaky there's no built-in stabilization but again I think it captures the nature pretty well so up next I went to a place called Extreme Trampoline it's truly become a phenomenon with activities today just dunking a simple foam ball in a net to see how it really Capt captures it whilst jumping in the air now here I'm just you know jumping on trampolines as there's a plethora of trampolines to jump on uh we were doing flips and stuff but Google Glass kept falling off when I was mid-flight so to truly finalize out this test here I took some pictures up in a lak housee surrounded by real nature and I thought this was the best way to really Captivate what glass can do uh you can definitely see there's a bit of noise when you really look far but again it's a 5 megapixel camera so I'm not holding too high it's really good with up CL things I will say I you know cook some chicken on the grill and you can really see how well it captures and that it captures color pretty well thank you guys so much for watching this video If you guys enjoyed this video go ahead and eat the thumbs up button is it lets me know that you guys are hungry for more Google Glass content thanks again and I'll see you in my next video bye-byeGoogle Glass has been an absolute treat to use it has found a way into
