Google announces Glass developer events – the Glass Foundry

Google has announced two developer events in San Francisco and New York respectively for developers to play around with Glass. Perhaps the most vivid technology news related memory of 2012, was when Sergey Brin waltzed into Vic Gundotra’s Google I/O keynote to showcase an incredible demo of Google Glass. At the event Google offered the Google Glass Explorer edition to developer as a pre-order for a cool $1,500.

There were even reports that the Glass project is still in works and now it appears six months later there is more Glass news as Google has announced two developer events in San Francisco and New York respectively for developers to play around with Glass. Developers will be given a unit each for two days and will be given an introduction to Glass, its Mirror API which will be followed by a development hackathon.

The company is calling this the Glass Foundry. The second day of the event will have special judges and a round of demonstrations. People who have received the invite much register by January 18 4PM PST as there is limited space. The search ginat will send out mails to registered developers confirming their slot and telling them how to proceed further.
