Social Media at Syracuse: Google Glass Course

Social Media at Syracuse: Google Glass Course

The class involves one semester-long assignment: Try out Google Glass, dream up ideas for useful apps, develop those ideas in teams and use social media to garner votes for the best concepts. The winning ideas will be developed into actual Google Glass app prototypes.
Last week, students had 10 minutes each to pitch their Glass app ideas before a panel of expert judges, comprised of startup founders and professors, who offer constructive feedback. One app promised to help children with autism learn through videos; another would interface with restaurants to find out accurate wait times; yet another would allow "time travel," to show what an area looked like 50 years ago (“Ancestry.com meets real life,” the student developers called it).
