Last week, Google launched a social media marketing campaign (which can be a great tutorial for other marketers) to give the world a glimpse of their augmented reality glasses prototype, dubbed Project Glass. The first big sighting was a widely shared photo of Robert Scoble at an event with Sergey Brin wearing them. Project Glass also posted a hypothetical demo video on YouTube, getting more than 10 million views in its first week. Twitter is buzzing with excitement and images, and tickets for the Google I/O event at the end of June sold out in twenty minutes where all eyes are on rumors that they may officially debut the glasses there.
