The high-tech glass pavilion, built in just over a fortnight on open ground in front of the convention centre where the meeting is to be held, is powered by photovoltaic panels which cover the whole of its sloping south-facing wall.
Photographs are so easy to take and so ubiquitous that we're neglecting the craft of capturing images. (Before long, Google Glass, the high-tech glasses with a built-in camera, will let us take a photo of whatever we happen to be looking at.) While technology has imbued the minutia of our experience with meaning, it's also turning us into lazy photographers.
But in truth it is still unclear how big the appetite for head-worn computers will be, and Google's Project Glass - which benefits from the company's strong tech brand - is expected to play a critical role in determining whether the sector succeeds or fails.

They walked past thin columns of water at the entrance into an open space, where various objets--an oversize ceramic head and an eye-catching blue glass vessel, for example--sat among high-tech showers, whirlpools, sinks and an oval-shaped toilet, all displayed on pedestals like museum pieces, the better to bring in customers.

But few new products have captured the imagination of the tech-minded such as Google Glass, an eyewear-like headset that offers augmented-reality images as well as basic smartphone-like features.
It's also coated in Gorilla Glass 2, with ClearBlack tech and a high-brightness mode to improve outdoor visibility and the same super-sensitive touchscreen that means you'll be able to steer the phone with your gloves on.
The new exhibit uses LED panels on the floor, covered with white etched glass that reflect on the cars and portray a high-tech aura.
In-cell display tech eliminates that middle layer of glass, combining the LCD and touch sections of the display into a single layer.
Unfortunately, apparently due to privacy concerns, a post tonight by the Project Glass team says that it will not approve any app using the tech for release -- at least until it has some privacy protections in place.
