A woman had quite the "something new" for her wedding earlier this year as she walked down the aisle sporting Google's newest high-concept Google Glass technology, which was recording every moment from her point of view.
Jessica Kuan recorded and posted the minute-long video, posted below, of her view while walking down the aisle to her fiancé Steven Soong on Aug. 23 of this year. She posted the video back in September.
"My husband and I have a love for technology. We wanted to use Google Glass to capture the most intimate moment of our lives," Kuan said in an emailed statement via Mashable. "All my friends told me they were so emotional that they actually forgot walking down the aisle. This was an experience I never want to forget."
The video was part of "Ok Glass, I do," a collaborative project between wearable technology research firm Vandrico and Jess Sloss, a communications consultant with the company. It aims to "showcase, and provide commentary on, the impact that the increasing prevalence of wearable technology has on our culture," Sloss said. The project website is not working right now but a cached version can still be viewed, which includes the video that we've embedded below.
Mashable reports that Kuan appears to be the first bride to publically walk down the aisle at her wedding while wearing the Google Glass. However, this report from the Huffington Post from back in November seems to indicate otherwise. Social media commentator and author Marsha Collier was apparently the first.
Decide for yourself and tell us what you think of this situation. Would you be grateful to have your wedding moment immortalized in first-person film forever? Would wearing the Google Glass on the alter ruin the experience for you at all? Comment and share your thoughts on this new matter with us below.
