Video: Federer and Edberg Have a Hit with Google Glass

In a video released on his official YouTube channel, Roger Federer gaves fans the opportunity to experience a "new, never-before-seen perspective of his game" as he and coach Stefan Edberg take to the courts wearing Google Glass during a light practice session. The "smart eyewear," currently available for purchase in the United States with a global release scheduled later this year, tracks Federer's perspective as he serves and volleys his way through practice and signs fans' autographs.

The video features a mix of footage captured by a cameraman of Federer and Edberg practicing and footage recorded by Google Glass.

"It was really fun shooting this video,” Federer said. “It's not often you get to explore new angles of watching tennis. I hope fans enjoy this new perspective.”

The video was made during Federer's visit to Google's campus in Mountain View, Calif., earlier this year.

This isn't Google Glass' first foray into tennis; last year, Bethanie Mattek-Sands made headlines when she revealed that she would be wearing Glass to Wimbledon. Mattek-Sands recorded tape of her practice sessions and wore the technology to the official players' party, but did not wear them in her first round loss to Angelique Kerber.
