Google Glass is coming to the business school.

A pair of School of Business students recently won the technology – a pair of glasses connected to the Internet  – through a Twitter campaign. It’s still about a year away from the consumer market

Sean Murphy, president of GW’s MBA Association which helped students with the competition, said the group had yet to decide its exact plans to use the brand-new technology. Users can use Google Glass to take pictures, video, send messages and search the web through vocal commands.

“We’re kind of writing the script as we go,” Murphy said. “We see this as a new technology and a new market, essentially. This is like the iPhone was in 2007 and we’re really viewing it in the same way we would if we were on the forefront of that technology.”

The winning students, Lindsay Murphy and Hugo Scheckter, traveled to New York City for private demonstrations about how to use the glasses. Both won by responding to a Google Glass tweet with the hashtag: #ifihadglass.

Murphy said he wanted students to help develop new apps, which could be developed and brought to the market with help from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Graduate School of Political Management.

“The goal is to incorporate the glasses into a class, and then let the class organize those entrepreneurial-type activities in a way that plans, possibly develops and ultimately brings the app to market,” Murphy said. “Everybody’s got good ideas. If you look at the Twitter campaign, it was literally thousands and thousands of ideas, and a lot of them were good.”

The business school is hopes to host a launch event for the technology in the fall, Murphy said, which would allow students to try out the Glass.
