While Google's always been a hit among Internet junkies and tech-lovers, it's not exactly a household name on the runway. But company co-founder Sergey Brin might have changed all that when he surprised audiences at New York Fashion Week by introducing Google Glass.
According to Mashable, "Models walked down the runway at Diane von Furstenberg’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection show wearing Glass, the upcoming headset/eyewear device that Google is developing." Take a look at the product below:

So what do Google's fancy new glasses do? They're a lot like a smartphone; wearers can snap photos, shoot video and view calendars, among other functions.
There's no doubt that Google Glass is an impressive feat in tech innovation. But, even if Google's promotional product wowed NYFW crowds, will consumers embrace the futuristic-looking device? Only time will tell!
