NEW YORK (AP) — The first time I was in the proximity of Google Glass was nearly a year ago at a technology conference. The people wearing the device were like cyborg members of an elite club I couldn’t join.Now, it’s my turn.I picked up my Glass on Jan. 24 at the Google Glass “base camp,” a bright, airy loft on the eighth floor of Manhattan’s Chelsea Market. The location serves as a product showroom and a place where users can schedule appointments to learn how to use the device.Walk in and you are invariably greeted by a smiling receptionist wearing Google Glass.
