#22A lot of fluff here, but not much substance. I see how having large manuals or paper lists in your field of view could be very useful. Does it work well for employees with classes? I assume they've updated the chip inside to something less power-hungry. Does it get reasonable battery life now? Why do doctors need Glass to record notes in the background? Couldn't any computer run that software?

I'm guessing this might have to do with voice recognition tech and the doctor being able to see the notes visually. If it picks up something incorrectly, maybe the doc just turns to the computer and corrects it?
Still sounds as though a laptop would be better. Perhaps it's now improved, but the Glass screen wasn't nearly as clear to read from as a MacBook Pro screen.

#23Has anyone here worked on a Glass app? How is the UI programmed? Does it require a special programming paradigm like VR, or are these instruction manual HUDs basically just PDF viewers?

#24>>Glass is also helping healthcare professionals. Doctors at Dignity Health have been using Glass with an application our partner Augmedix calls “a remote scribe”. My primary care doctor has a human scribe. The scribe is a recent graduate (BS), planning on going to med school next year. Being physically in the room, watching the doctor work is a great benefit to her. I'm not sure she'd benefit as much from watching a…
Just disrobe while I record you with my cyborg glasses. Now, please describe your embarrassing medical problem. (However, it seems like a great idea for other situations.)

#25I know Glass, or something like it, will be great. But I don't know which combination of features + killer app will unlock the thing.
HN has probably mentioned this before but is there a reason Google makes announcements on Medium and not on Blogger?
I would do the same thing if I had a choice, but Google could just make the formatting on Blogger better.

#26This is so !@%!@ cool. Check out the A/B test of a technician with / without the software referenced in the article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5gXuZp25f0 Then here's a video that gives a sense of the software's interface: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5HOHNECW20 Very workflow oriented with nice communication and lookup features. This is the kind of small optimization stuff that is going to be revolutionary…

#27It's easy to armchair quarterback this stuff after the fact, but this is where Glass should have started. The price point, social stigma/issues, and use cases all screamed "business applications!".
Consumer tech may be where the glamour and scale are, but it's not always the best market entry point.

I would be totally cool with being recorded. I think its beyond time we get past the ridiculous false modesty that seems to be considered a virtue, but with no real benefit.
