Google Hosting Contest to See How You Would Use Google Glass
Today Google posted a new website that allows the world to experience the Project Glass, the tech giant’s wearable smart glasses. Google is hoping the website will not only spark consumer’s interest but inspire the “bold and creative” to contact them using the hashtag #ifihadglass with individual ideas on how they would use Google Glass.
Participants can enter the contest via Google+ and Twitter by submitting an idea in 50 words or less. While we’re sure your writing skills are up to par, adding a few photos or a video of your brilliant idea can’t hurt. Contestants should not that whoever happens to win the contest will still have to pay $1,500 to get in on the program. So, if you’ve got disposable income to burn and feel the creative juices already flowing check out the source link below to get in on the contest fun.
How to apply
We’re looking for bold, creative individuals who want to join us and be a part of shaping the future of Glass. We’d love to make everyone an Explorer, but we’re starting off a bit smaller.
