Reason TV on Hacking Google Glass for Journalism and the Dawn of Wearable Technology

“Google Glass: Privacy, Journalism, and the Dawn of
Wearable Technology,” produced by Tracy Oppenheimer. About 7
minutes.

Original release date was May 16, 2014 and original writeup is
below.

“I do believe that our mobile phones are going to be outdated
and are going to be replaced with wearables,” says University of
Southern California journalism professor
Robert Hernandez
. “So my end goal is augmented reality, or AR
storytelling. This is technology that’s emerging, and Glass is a
really great wearable platform that is very early, but has a lot of
potential to do that.”

Hernandez is incorporating Google Glass into his journalism
class curriculum next year, and plans to take this technology and
build a media platform around it. He sat down with Reason TV’s
Tracy Oppenheimer to discuss how Google Glass works and its
potential capabilities. He also addresses privacy concerns and
other critiques of this wearable technology.

“The truth is that we don’t have privacy, and in public places
there are all these cameras recording us all the time. So if this
is going to help you realize and be aware, and be a more engaged
citizen, that’s great,” says Hernandez.

About 7 minutes.

Produced by Tracy Oppenheimer. Camera by Paul Detrick and Alexis
Garcia.
