He’s famed for playing computer geek Rajesh Koothrappali in The Big Bang Theory.
Perhaps
with her career launching role in mind, actor Kunal Nayyar took to the
red carpet at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles for the 65th Primetime
Emmy Awards on Sunday sporting the highly distinctive Google Glass.
The
32-year-old star joined co-stars Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley
Cuoco at the annual event, which saw Parsons win the award for Best
Actor in a Comedy.
Google geek: Kunal Nayaar sports the Google
Glass on the red carpet at the the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards in
Los Angeles on Sunday
But while his onscreen
flat-mate grabbed the plaudits, Kunal was getting his own fair share of
attention courtesy of his Google Glass – which is not openly available
to buy until next year.
The voice activated device enables users to access the internet by simply issuing a verbal command while on the go.
As
well as web-surfing, the wearable device can also take pictures, record
videos and send messages, all via a tiny, thumbnail sized screen that
sits close to the eye.

Distinctive: The Google Glass could revolutionize the technological landscape
Despite the innovative nature
of Google’s new venture, it has raised concerns about security and
privacy since its early version was released to some developers, is due
to go on general sale next year.
Many people fear that the use of Google Glass with its intelligent cameras will erode people's privacy. Kunal’s
public appearance with the device marks its first significant outing,
but the London born actor made no mention of it on Twitter as the event
drew near.
‘Emmy weekend! Let’s goooooooooooooooo,’ he tweeted on Friday.
Familiar face: Co-star Kaley Cuoco also attended the event on Sunday evening
Speaking on the red carpet, Kunal opened up about the steady development of his character on The Big Bang Theory.
'He
can now talk to women without alcohol, so who knows what he's going to
say," Nayyar said Sunday on the Emmy Awards red carpet.
'He
may think he's deep or smooth, but he's just getting used to talking to
them. So he's going to make a lot of faux pas. But hopefully someone
will just fall into his lap.'
