Learning Glass Tips
Plan Ahead
- Plan out your presentation in advance with an outline, sketch, or notes.
- If it's a long presentation, look for natural breaks and create multiple videos.
Keep it Short
- One topic, one point, one Glass.
- If you can’t fit it all on the Glass, then you can’t fit it in a single video.
What to Wear
- Do wear darker clothing, it creates a background for the Learning Glass text. A long sleeved, black shirt would be ideal (for legibility, but it may create the illusion of a floating head and hands).
- Light or bright colored clothing will obscure the text when you are standing behind it.
- No distracting patterns. In particular, repeated stripes will create a moiré effect.
- No text, the Learning Glass is mirrored so all printed text will be backwards.
Best Practices
The recommended practices for creating a Learning Glass video are no different than making any kind of instructional video.
- Do one or two takes.
-
It doesn't have to be perfect, inconsequential mistakes are humanizing.
- A good presentation, on a important topic, can have instructional value for years.
