See the very first Google Glass fight video

Chris Barrett, founder of PRserve was testing out his Google Glass on the boardwalk of Wildwood, NJ, when he he is told that there is a fight in progress. He arrives at the pulsating crowd that forms when there is a fight, and becomes the first to get video of a fight recorded via Glass.

Barret says that walked right into the tail end of a fight happening on Jersey Shore boardwalk and filmed the first arrest through the lens of my Google Glass.

This video is proof that Google Glass will change citizen journalism forever.



Barret told Venture Beat that; “This is a huge step in citizen journalism,” Barrett said. “If Google Glass takes off, everyone’s going to have their entire life captured … first words, first steps … but also people getting shot, and natural disasters.”

Whether that’s exactly a good thing, I’m not certain, but it certainly has potential for being good. It also has potential to lead people into dangerous situations in hope of getting great footage. Barrett told me he went closer than he would have, due to his desire to test out Glass, and maybe close than he should have.

But overall, he’s sold:

“I’ve always been about capturing stories and being a story-teller, so having a device that will change the way people capture stories is unbelievable.”
