The demo of Google glasses which earned the company a massive standing ovation will have the Internet talking for some time.
Google demonstrated the device by having parachutists jump out of a blimp hovering about 7,000 feet above San Francisco. The audience got live video feeds from their glasses as they descended to land on the roof of the Moscone Center, the location of the conference.
In Google’s own words, “We worked with some of the world’s top athletes, combined skydiving and mountain biking, and shared the experience — through their eyes — with the world.”

And the reviews were overwhelming. PCWorld called the demo “The greatest show on earth” while TechCrunch gave it even higher praise saying the video was “Google’s winning answer to Steve Jobs’ “One More Thing” and for the moment, it made Apple’s ground-based surprises seem less dramatic.”
