Towards mySustainableLens

Could Google Glasses be sustainable?
April 5, 2012
The potential for a real Sustainable Lens suddenly got very real. Google’s Project Glass getting real (well, real as in concept video). AR has been around for a long time, what’s exciting is the consumer focussed seamless integration.

Over the last few days I’ve been exploring how we might promote “not-buying stuff”. I thought I had hit on it with a big green button for “impulse sustainability”, but then undid myself with the realisation that we don’t really know what such a button would do – or even if it could. This series […]
