Nokia considers the Lumia 2520 as the mullet of tablets

Nokia has just released what could be one of the strangest but somewhat fitting ads for its Lumia 2520 tablet.

MetaPro AR is the cool that Google Glass wants to achieve

If Google Glass had a cooler, older brother, and he wore smart glasses, MetaPro AR would be them.
