Developers to Go Hands On with Google Glass in Late January at Hackathons

Developers-to-Go-Hands-On-with-Google-Glass-in-Late-January-at-Hackathons-20010101

Google has been promissing that outside developers would be the first to get their hands on the EAGERLY anticipated 'Project Glass', and those that pre-ordered explorer editions for $1500 will indeed be that batch. An email just went out to developers inviting them to take a first look at the platform, and to be the first to start developing for it. Here's what the invite had to say....

Join us for an early look at Glass and two full days of hacking on the upcoming Google Mirror API in San Francisco or New York. These hackathons are just for developers in the Explorer program and we're calling them the Glass Foundry. It's the first opportunity for a group of developers to get together and develop for Glass.

We'll begin the first day with an introduction to Glass. You'l have a device to use while on-site. Next we'll take a look at the Mirror API, which gives you the ability to exchange data and interact with the user over REST. We'll then dive into development with Google engineers on site to help you at any point. At the end of the second day we'll have a lively round of demos with some special guest judges.

If you'd like to attend this first Glass Foundry, please choose and register by Friday, January 18th at 4pm PT. There is limited space. If you are accepted, you will receive a confirmation letter with additional details and required terms after registration closes. Please don't make any travel arrangements until your attendance is confirmed.
