Looking at Google Glass through the eyes of an early user

Joe Linstroth/WKAR

One of the newest gadgets that is fascinating and disturbing to people is the Google Glass. You wear it on your face like a pair of glasses, and you’re able to get information, take pictures, and all kinds of things, mostly through voice and touch commands. Google has asked people to become “Explorers,” to get feedback on the product, and we found one right here in Lansing. Ari Adler is the Michigan House GOP press secretary, and also a Google Glass Explorer.

Adler says he heard about Google Glass when it was first announced. He said Explorers are trying to use the Glass in everyday life and tell Google what their experiences are so it can be improved for future users.
