#CLIMB4GLASS

#CLIMB4GLASS was developed as a project for Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications course, #NewhouseSM4 under the direction of Dr. William Ward. also known as #DR4WARD. 

Social Media is moving at a steady pace, with new technology being developed everyday, it is essential as a young professional, to stay on top of what's new, hip, and innovative. I had the opportunity to try out #GOOGLEGLASS for the first time! After testing it out, I knew it was next level. Google Glass has the ability to start a new revolution for media and communications professionals. This device is small, but it does a lot. After testing it out, I started thinking about ways in which this new technology could solve a problem. Originally, I had an idea to use Geo-Location as a way to find the nearest parties and events in collaboration with hashtags used throughout various social media platforms to archive live pictures, videos, and conversations around specific, local events for app users. This idea is still a great, and feasible idea, but for this class, with the help of Nick, the original idea shifted to #CLIMB4GLASS. 

With the use of Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+, and Google Hangout, Brandi, Nick and I were able to merge ideas and create an app that is capable of using Google Glass technology to help users CLIMB to an adventurous, next level workout (running/jogging/walking). #CLIMB4GLASS allows users to voice what they want, without slowing down their speed, and pace. It allows users to save money on personal trainers, because this app takes the place. #CLIMB4GLASS allows users to challenge their friends and share their custom routes with friends on social media. If users are in a new town, maybe on vacation and they still want to get that morning run in, #CLIMB4GLASS allows users to explore new areas, and remember it with video and photo features. 

#CLIMB4GLASS is the only way!

Ever wondered what it would be like to see what a trail looks like from a first-person POV, even if you're not there? Well, with #CLIMB4GLASS you'll be able to record videos like the one I found on YouTube below:
