Rapid prototyping Google Glass - Tom Chi

Rapid prototyping is a method used to accelerate the innovation process. At TEDYouth 2012, Tom Chi explains how this method was used to create one of Google's newest inventions, Google Glass.

this guy's got a wicked sense of humor, +1 Google, you rock

[EddieAdolf]

I love hearing out the process, thanks.

[pastpianist]

Great talk. Going to get a lot more kids involved in the sciences

Rule 1:Find the quickest path/ 2: doing is the best/ 3: use materials.

"Learning you do on he behalf of humanity"! YES!

[GreenScreenBatman]

awesome insights, thanks for sharing on rapid prototyping and how it has helps technology advances so fast! :D

[dougb]

good thing they did all of the rapid prototyping so Google would have that first to market advantage.

Everyone in the crowd who has glasses you can try this out
*everyone tries it out*

Monopoly:
A situation in which a single company or group owns all or nearly all of the market for a given type of product or service. By definition, monopoly is characterized by an absence of competition, which often results in high prices and inferior products.

Not to start a pen war but I do like the layout of Google because it's neat and clean. There are just too many link and boxes and adverts on Yahoo! homepage. Just my opinion.

[redbeheaded]

In all fairness, this is a TED talk, not a news conference.

[lupitamp]

y pensar que despues de 11 años google lo haría, ahora son una realidad realmente única

[centrumcz]

True; Many take (as I take it also) a monopoly arises when you have over 70% of the market irrespective of (the quality) product; and its prices are inacessible to us, since it finances itself by selling advertising and topping up in google searches, which we do not know how they are priced compared to the competition.

meu desafio colaborativo me mandou pra cá

[ParadigmaticShifting]

This is remarkable technology and I have been talking about it for nearly fifteen years. What I wonder is how many more brain tumors are we going to see. Is there going to be a way to divert radio waves perhaps to a protected area of the body? Something to minimize the damage on the cellular level?

[redbeheaded]

It still plays video. What more do you need?

[daultonbaird]

So basic, cheap and simple. This could eliminate trillions of bad disigns in the larval stage. Hey all of you engineers, get this talk on your post it notes.

[ghostbuddy]

It takes you five seconds to find a competitor to Google, that is not a monopoly, by definition. Even if you want to question this semantics, which is again the norm in economics and the social sciences broadly, it should be manifestly obvious why even if you call Google a monopoly, it's monopoly won't be characterized by higher prices and inferior products. Monopolies tend to be characterized as having higher prices and inferior products because alternative choices are inaccessible.

I lone rapid prototyping when engaging with customer to know what they need.

[CraigBoliek]

Will this ever be integrated into actual prescription glasses? I have seen the prototype for sunglasses. Contacts will probably be another ten or fifteen years... Lol.
