The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC is using Google Glass to create a very unique exhibit for President’s Day. Titled “Portrait of America,” the exhibit is made up of tons of eye glass lenses across an American Flag, and they’ve integrated Glass into the exhibit in a pretty amazing way.
Behind each lens is an icon of a famous America from history, ranging from JFK to Lady Gaga, which visitors can see when wearing Google Glass. Not only are the images of the icons revealed, but you can also watch short clips and videos about the person you’re looking at. It’s a pretty complex and interesting take on combining art and technology.
The exhibit also encourages visitors to take photos with Glass, and uploads all of the photos to an external live feed. This lets visitors get better acquainted with Google’s weird new technology and creates some lasting photos of the exhibit well after President’s Day is over.
If you’re in the DC area, you can check this exhibit out through tomorrow.
