In celebration of International Women's Day this year, the 'Woman's Day #throughglass' video was created, meant to stir up some thought on the conditions for women in today's society.
As the title suggests, the video was created with the use of Google Glass. It follows a day in the life of an average woman and for most of the video, she just does pretty basic stuff, including choosing what outfit she wants to wear, making coffee, petting cute dogs and meeting up with friends.
The video takes quite a shocking turn at the end, especially when the woman asks Glass to turn off the cheery music that's been playing the whole time. When she encounters her partner, it's very clear that she's part of an abusive relationship.
