Okay, if you make this Google ‘Project Glass' videofull screen and high-def, it might be a little barfy, so don't say we at Techland never pass alongfriendly motion-sickness disclaimers. But yes, if you click"play" on the video up top, you too can watch what itlooks like to video yourself jumping and flipping on a trampoline while wearing glasses that apparently somehow boltto your skull. I don't know what's more impressive: theeye-level video view, or the fact that this obvious Cirque duSoleil standby doesn't totally biff it. Google software engineer and Project Glass tech lead Max Braunscreened the footage at the Google+ Photographer's Conference in San Francisco, which just wrapped earlier this week (May22-23). The full presentation is over an hour, but the part whereBraun takes the stage (at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts) todemo the glasses starts at the 48 minute mark in the video below.

"This one makes us a little queasy, but our prototype nailedwhat it s like to be on a trampoline," wrote the company on its Project Glass's Google+ page , where it's also hosting the 15 second clip. In the presentation, Braun describes Project Glass as being about"having technology be there when you want it, and being outof the way when you don't." He also notes that thequality of the images is "constantly improving." If youwant to see additional snaps of Google employees field-testing theglasses (mostly to see what sort of fashion statement these thingsmake), Google has an album up here . Could you do any of this with a cellphone or digital camera? Sure.Also: not easily. How long until Google brings these things to market? Who knows, and this February 2012 report from the New York Times is a little dated, but in it, the Times noted several Google employees had said the glasses could go onsale yet this year and would cost "around the price ofcurrent smartphones," which probably means around $600 to$800, unsubsidized.
