Augment My Reality will be the first 24/7 Live Stream via the amazing technology of Google Glass.
There has been a lot of talk about Google Glass and how it will impact the user as well as those around them. There are those who look at Glass as both an amazing advancement in technology while also pushing the boundaries of social interaction and privacy. I am here to document that journey by not only using Google Glass 24/7 but live streaming everything I do for a week times.
A little about me:
My name is Tristan Pope and I am a freelance director and photographer based in NYC. I have worked in the entertainment industry for many years. I spent 5 years at Blizzard Entertainment directing in-game cinematics, ran marketing for multiple startups, shot editorial shoots for major magazines, as well as directed multiple short films and theatrical performances. You can see some of my work at http://tristanpope.com
What will Augment My Reality provide?
My intention is to give the viewers a first hand look into the interactions and lives of those who I interact with as well as myself, keeping my Google Glass online 24/7 for a weeks time.
I believe my experience and love for the industry will push the boundaries of Google Glass while giving you all a chance to be a part of everything it has to offer and more, while it is happening! Go behind the scenes with me on a photoshoot: https://vimeo.com/11545624 or invite me to yours! The possibilities are endless.
Through the help of Sponsors I will not only have the ability to stream 24/7 but I will offer those who are interested the chance to interact with my world, giving me suggestions of things to do, places to see, and ways to interact with those around me. You can even suggest a meetup where you can check out Google Glass yourself!
Are you a startup or tech company? Do you want to do a live interview with everyone watching? We can make that happen! The idea is to fill my days with as much life that New York City has to offer. There are vast opportunities for interesting interactions, meetups with amazing people in the tech field, and fun events for the viewers and myself to participate in together, through Google Glass.
If you were not one of the 8000 people in the world to get an invite to the Google Glass experience, here is your chance to experience this amazing new technology first hand.
What will I provide?
- A live 24/7 Google + Hangouts Live On Air stream via Google Glass
- A first person perspective of all that NYC has to offer as well as me waking up and having coffee!
- A way to interact with me as I go about my days
- Live Google Plus and Twitter updates.
- The ability to help me make decisions about where to go, what to eat, who to talk to.
- For those who donate through the perks system, one of the levels will allow you to help layout an entire day of mine, whether you are a company who wants to show off your offices and kick ass staff, or a startup looking to promote your new game, that day is up to you!
- I will be keeping a blog via google + and blogspot about how "Augment My Reality" effects me and those around me throughout the process.
- A place for sponsors to put their graphics or logo via my blog.
How can you help?
This crowd funding effort is to find some sponsors and help me afford this:
- Google Glasses will cost me $1500 Dollars + Tax (est $105)
- Extra Battery Packs to keep Google Glass and my 4G smartphone online 24/7
- Expenses to expand into more exciting and fun adventures you and I will go on together.
I'm looking for any financial support and sponsorship for this unique opportunity. No amount is too small or too large. If you wish to contact me further about meetups, interviews, sponsorship, or helping provide equipment like battery packs or restaurant vouchers(great way to show off your business!) please contact me on twitter @tristanpope.
The Impact of Your Help
The bottom line is that with your support I can share my experiences, try a lot of creative ideas, explore the social aspect of wearing it to places, share these experiences LIVE, show you an inside look behind the scenes of a photoshoot, as well as push it to the limits to identify bugs and report them so others don't have to, and more. It's also your opportunity to be associated early with the recognition and excitement of this world changing technology.
