He used to be just Andrew Perlman, Suffolk Law professor, and he was fine with that.
But for the past month, he's been Andrew Perlman, Google Glass Explorer, and nothing has been the same.
There was the stranger who refused to walk in front of his technology-enhanced field of vision.
But most people, he says, are curious or excited. Walking into a cellphone store the other day, Perlman said, "I was like a rock star."
Perlman, director of the Institute on Law Practice Technology and Innovation, applied for one of thousands of spots in Google's Glass Explorer program in February, and was selected by Google in March.
"I had both personal and professional reasons," Perlman said. "I've always been fascinated by technology."
Professionally, Perlman plans to use the wearable device in his classroom to increase engagement from students. In the fall, shy or nervous students will be able to text questions to Perlman during lectures. Because the texts will pop up in Glass, Perlman will see them and be able to respond.
"Glass might be a useful complement to the usual way of interacting" in the classroom, he said. "I'm always interested in bringing technology into the classroom in ways I think can be helpful and keep students engaged."
Glass could also have uses in legal environments as well, such as in depositions or for taking notes during a trial, he suggested.
Meanwhile, Perlman said, he is looking forward to seeing what happens when he puts the device on one of his daughters during a gymnastics meet.
