Google glass as a prototype

he also spoke about the development process for Glass, and what went in to creating the model we see today.
"We took a reductionist approach. We removed everything that wasn't absolutely essential," said Olsson. That meant taking a lot away from the original prototype.
"We are obsessed with weight. If it's not light, you're not going to want to wear it for more than 10 minutes."
Olson said lightness is very important in Glass' design - visually as well as physically. Most of the electronics for Glass are actually hidden behind your ear, so it's not intruding on your face.
"We made Glass modular," she said. "This means you can remove the frame from the main board." The coloured portion of Glass can be unscrewed from the frame, and then placed on another frame, such as a Google prototype of Glass on prescription glasses. as shown above.


























the design is modular.
