Before Google ever dreamed of
Glass, there were iGlasses. No, not an
Apple device. They really missed the
boat on that particular product. It
should have been obvious. The iBook, the
iPad, the iPhone… iGlasses? Duh. But alas, no. iGlasses first appeared in a wonderful story
entitled The Tragic Death of Corporate Man: a hero for capitalism; champion of
the working class. Al Gore may have had
something to do with it. You’ll have to
read the book.
Anyway, so inspired by the iGlasses
idea, this Satisfied Customer became obsessed with making them a reality.
Apparently he didn’t sleep for
months (I believe there were some pills involved) and never left the lab. Showers became a stranger to him (as did his
fellow researchers and assistants). But
the work paid off. Not quite the Al Gore
white-plastic frames model, but a functioning set of computer glasses
nonetheless. Images of Corporate Man
slither across the outer surface in a never ending loop while the interior of
the lenses display chapters of the books and links to the blog. Tiny speakers in the temple tips allow the
wearer to hear the award winning JK2 music which accompanies the equally award
winning Corporate Man commercials.
Eventually Google bought his
prototype for billions and rebranded the product in their own image.
