Last April, Google officially announced Project Glass and its Glass device. Glass is a tiny camera that you wear on a pair of glasses or a glasses-like frame to capture your experiences as you see them. At I/O, Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder, provided some updates on the initiative and coordinated an elaborate demonstration to show the value of Glass that included skydivers, stunt bicyclists and men scaling down the sides of the Moscone Center, where I/O was held.

The idea of the demonstration was to show how exciting it can be to see a firsthand view of an experience like jumping out of a plane, doing a backflip on a bike or scaling down a building. Google is clearly putting a lot of time and effort into Project Glass, and it's obvious that it sees some real potential in the idea of recording life experiences in this fashion.

Brin said Google still has a lot of work to do on Glass before it becomes officially available, but he also announced a special "Glass Explorer Edition" headset that developers can preorder for $1500. That device is expected to ship in early 2013.
