# Immersive Glass Mini Orchestras Alexander Chen Created a Looped Video of the Viola on Google Glass By Tia Clarke | Published 2013-04-24 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viola-on-google-glass References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2013/04/viola-through-glass-alexander-chen-creates-an-orchestra-of-violas/) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jwAAR4-nuqE) Creative director at [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaped-by-water), Alexander Chen, got creative recently and created a video of himself playing the viola on [Google Glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-glasses). The Google figure head then took the footage and edited it externally from Glass. The result of all of these spliced clips is like a [miniature orchestra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-maestro). What's so utterly charming about the video is that, as the camera viewpoint is from his own point of view, you can see snippets of a young baby waddling through the sitting room and a dog sprawled out on the sofa playing with a ball. The music itself is also beautiful and calming. This video gives us a glimpse of the amazing things that one can capture using such new and ground-breaking technology. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Immersive Experiential Videos:** Creating immersive videos using wearable technology like Google Glass opens up opportunities for unique and engaging viewer experiences. - **Personal Point-of-view Recording:** The ability to capture real-life moments from the wearer's point of view provides a new perspective for storytelling and personal documentation. - **Integration of Technology and Music:** Exploring the intersection of technology and music allows for innovative ways of creating and experiencing musical compositions. ### Where This Applies - **Wearable Technology:** The development of advanced wearable devices for immersive video recording and playback presents opportunities for enhanced user experiences and new applications. - **Video Production and Editing:** As personal point-of-view recording becomes more popular, the demand for skilled video production and editing professionals who can create captivating immersive videos will increase. - **Music and Entertainment:** The integration of technology and music opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in music creation, performance, and consumption. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AR-Fueled Musical Camera Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minibeats.md) - [Water-Covered Speaker Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaped-by-water.md) - [Instant Music Sketchbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everglow.md) - [Music Analysis Compact Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analist.md) - [Attachable Eyewear Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-video-camera.md) - [Movement-Evoking Audio Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/favle22.md) - [VR Trombone Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vr-trombone.md) - [Hand-Sensing Musical Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roli-airwave.md) - [Hybrid Camera Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musiccam.md)
