Seeing the museum through the lens of wearable technology
In short: Experience a tour of the Richard Gilder Graduate School through the eyes of a doctoral student using Google Glass. This video offers a unique, hands-free perspective on life within the American Museum of Natural History.
The footage, captured entirely via Google Glass, follows Aki Watanabe, a PhD candidate specializing in comparative biology. As a beta-tester for the wearable computer, Watanabe uses the device to navigate the halls of the Richard Gilder Graduate School (RGGS).
The video highlights the unique nature of RGGS, which holds the distinction of being the first museum in the western hemisphere to offer a Ph.D. degree-granting program.
