As a sort of a “Part 2″ or even “Part 3″ of the Glass chat series SlashGear has appearing this week and last, today’s words with Google Glass’ lead industrial designer Isabelle Olsson lend some insight on the device’s road to final hardware. Speaking on how the original Glass prototypes eventually became the device you see today, Ollson shared three principles that allowed the team to solidify their process.
If you’ve seen the photo shoots that’ve come out thus far for Google’s Project Glass, you know good and well that they’ve taken just as many photos of the device on the heads of women as they have of men. The idea that the device will not be as appealing to the feminine side of the equation here is about more than just the idea that women will or will not want to wear the first wave of Glass as it appears on the market, but according to a couple of sources we’ve had a peek at this week, there does seem to be some concern that only the distinctly male amongst us will want to go “wearable” with Google in 2013.
A rather interesting video has come out this week with New York Fashion Week playing host to Google Glass technology, the ultimate product being an all-Glass shot video on the runway with designer Diane von Furstenberg. What this film “DVF Through Glass” shows us is a very real vision – one we’ve seen a few times before, in different formats – of what it feels like to be the subject of the film rather than watching it. Watch as you become the model walking through the dressing room and you’ll see and experience Google Glass in what we thus far are understanding the project to be all about – ramming the whole world into the head of one single subject.
It's time again to see what Google's Project Glass creators are up to, this time with them showing off their abilities at Fashion Week with a 3.5 minute video shot entirely with the device. This device is indeed called "Glass" as it has been for some weeks, appearing recently also at Google I/O 2012 in an amazingly daring live skydive video feed - such a fabulous experience it was! This week they've teamed up with the folks at the DVF Spring 2013 show at New York Fashion Week - see what they saw now!

Revealing swimwear isn't usually the topic of conversation at RAPID, an annual trade show for the market of "additive manufacturing." The industrial tech show is usually more focused on manufacturing processes and how to reduce bottlenecks in large-scale plants. If you see someone in a bikini, you're probably at the wrong show. At least, we could safely say that about past years.

This week we got the opportunity to sit down with HP and Project Runway Season 9's winning designer Anya Ayoung Chee to speak about her win of the Intel & HP design challenge. We were at Showstoppers CES 2012 and spoke about no less than how technology made the task of being a modern day designer a wholly enjoyable one - textiles to integrated media, all of it sits at the heart of her interests. For the HP design challenge she spoke on how the technology the contestants needed to use was very user friendly and made her taking part in the challenge a positive one - an organic feel to the whole situation made for, again, a positive experience from start to finish. Social media, Chee noted, is a part of her every day life, Twitter especially, she connecting with her fan base in a way that designers of the past never had the opportunity to.

There's this thing about social commentary - it doesn't matter. Or at least that's what folks like Zuckerberg and the +1 folks at Google don't want you to believe. Today you've got the opportunity to make yourself heard with a "Meh" shirt on Woot, one with a mark modeled after the "Like" button and pointing in a certain "whatever" direction. As a child of the Nevermind generation, I can't possibly resist. Will you get a "Meh" shirt, or will you just forget about it?

Adding to the ever-increasing collection of big-name brands and fashion lines delivering 3D eyewear to the market, Armani has today announced their first ever 3D eyewear to be released by A|X Armani Exchange. The aesthetic for these glasses is described as a fusion of 80's retro with a modern yet classic navigator shape. These glasses work with "the most popular 3D format found in movie theaters" which we're just going to assume means RealD. These glasses also have an array of features which makes them seem like a pretty good candidate for everyday use as well as for chilling in the theater watching Tron Legacy, Freddy's Dead, or Pig Robots from Planet 9.
