Saw this amazing article in USA Today all about the Google Glass! http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/10/22/google-glass-aids-disabled/3006827/
Its amazing to see how much Google Glass can help someone who is paralyzed. The founder of Affective Computing Research Group at MIT's Media Lab, Rosalind Picard in fact believes this can even help deaf, blind and even autistic individuals. A deaf person could see a real time transcript of what someone is saying. For a blind person, the Google Glass can announce each object improving the navigation of their surrounds and thereby increasing their independence. Glass could even can provide emotional recognition, converting other's expressions into on screen keywords. Its amazing to see how Google Glass is helping so many disabled individuals ranging from wheelchair users to blind individuals. Google Glass is truly revolutionary technology.

Greg Enjoying his Walk
Today I brought my Google Glass along with me during my dog's walk. This was the first time I could independently(hands free) take pictures of the neighborhood,the changing fall leaves and most importantly my dog Greg! Loving it!

Trip to Chelsea Market
So to get my Google Glass, I had to go to Chelsea Market, originally home to the Oreo Factory and now a awesome shopping center. When I got to the Google Glass office, we were taken to the room seen below. This room had a very modern look and had an amazing view of the city.

We then grabbed lunch at this French Vietnamese fusion restaurant, Num Pang. I had a Spicy Tofu Sandwich seen below.

Finally as we returned to our car in a parking garage, we saw this gem seen below. It was the smallest car I've actually seen. In fact, my wheelchair was not much smaller!
Is this even a car? |
