When Google posed the question "What would you do with Google Glass?" it was a promotion geared to everyday consumers who wanted to be among the first to use the latest gadget from Google. The device is wanted by more than just gadget lovers: Jet Blue joined the conversation on its Google+ page and told what it would do if JetBlue had Google Glass.
JetBlue posted on its Google+ page a few images showing how the device could be used in airports. JetBlue also wrote the response, "we would continue to help the world view air travel through a whole new lens." While its message was short, the four images it posted provide some very cool ideas of what people could do with Google Glass at the airport.
The images cover a range of uses in an airport from displaying flight information and alerts, to finding available power outlets, estimated price of a cab from the airport to your destination, baggage claim information and even showing the user the airport's parking garage capacity.
If this is any indication of how people are going to use Glass, Google might be onto something big. It remains to be seen ... maybe even through Glass.
Google has high ambitions for Google Glass and has already gotten the device onto developer's heads but a few weeks ago, the company reached out to the public and asked what average people would do with Google Glass if they were able to score a Glass of their own.
Google allowed anyone to apply via Google+ and Twitter and submit an application in 50 words or less telling Google what you would do if you had Glass. The contest ended Thursday, Feb. 27. Google will notify those who wrote a compelling enough story to deserve the honor of being chosen. The "winners" will have the privilege of pre-ordering the device, for which Google is charging $1,500. JetBlue isn't an everyday consumer, but it still joined in the fun.
