Newt Gingrich Takes Google Glass to the Zoo

When Newt Gingrich visited Peoria Zoo in Illinois last week, he captured the day with Google Glass.

Gingrich didn't disappoint: He tweeted several images of himself wearing Glass.

Earlier today, Gingrich tweeted the video above documenting his day at the zoo.

The video begins with Gingrich saying, "Okay Glass." He then feeds a cockatoo and films a red river hog and a giraffe.

Gingrich first suggested trying out Glass in a zoo in April. He called Glass "a pioneer of the future" in his weekly newsletter.
