As part of a new effort to see how technology can impact real-world problems, Google has given five nonprofits their Glass devices to see how they can amplify the work they are already doing.

The World Wildlife FundSamasourceGiveDirectlyDoSomething!, and charity: water will be the first organizations to take part in the ”Giving through Glass” initiative.
