Re: Google Glass to Hit Developers' Hands This Month
#82I'm not entirely sure of the capabilities of Glass. For instance, battery life and an ability to persistently have the camera on and displaying an overlay for extended periods seems difficult. Some of the Glass ideas I like but haven't heard much discussion over: - Facial recognition with a little popup over people's heads with their name. Never forget someone's name - Link in with Facebook or your calendar to have p…
Being a private person i just shudder when hearing concepts about face recognition or auto tweets in this context. ^ "Have an alternate reality game with digital objects people can place/write on. Only Glass users can see the teddy bear in the corner, and only google glass users can see the giant graffiti wall where people sign their name." I am sorry since for some this will not be considered as being a constructive…
This would work well with the images from that bad movie 13 Ghosts (2001 version). The movie wasn't that good, but the depictions of the ghosts which were only viewable with special glasses, was very well done.

All of these things are already possible to implement, google glass just makes it more accessible by keeping it in your field of view the entire time your wearing the device.
Yes, all of these things are already possible to implement, in the same way that it was possible to construct a webpage in which you listed your activities and doings and manually update them -- and track your friends who have their own webpages -- long before Facebook came along. The idea isn't the point here, it's the ease of use and the visceralness of it. The gun maps debate is a prime example of this. Anyone cou…
> And if you were a thief, you would have much more use out of them as a straight excel spreadsheet which you could cross-reference with other property records...or at least just do quick name searches across a large Excel file.
Are they using this to steal the guns or avoid the houses with guns? Owning a dog is probably the single best way to dissuade break-ins if you are that concerned.

#84I'd love to see this app for it. I call it real life screen sharing! Take any task you need to do; say change a tire. You post a request to the internet for help. Someone agrees to help you. Then they see on their screen what you are seeing through the glasses. They can talk you through doing whatever you need to do, and perhaps even point to places on the screen and it will highlight that area in your view screen. T…
Not just "someone willing to help" but also customer support, tutoring, medical emergencies, bomb diffusing... The monetization force is strong with this one.

#85It would be nice if they would release some specs like battery life and resolution and weight and memory and capacity.

imagine mechanics using it to see an x-ray kind of view of a vehicle or engine. location/time awareness could do a "checklist" of sorts when you are leaving your house to make sure you pick up all of the items from the front table. a lego app that helps you find that piece in the big bin of pieces
These are wearable computers, not glasses with visual powers that are not yet feasible to implement, period (I'm guessing there would be a few technical issues with head-mounted-x-ray machines).
Not sure what you mean. The tech is already here on tablets. Check out this recent video from Metaio:

It uses 3d tracking and could easily be changed from an AC unit to an engine. I think the software is definitely ready.

> x-ray kind of view of a vehicle or engine BMW did a research project about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9KPJlA5yds The problem with augmented reality is that you need incredibly low latency: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/latency-the-sine-qua-n... Early systems will likely stick to simple HUD views that don't require tracking of real objects with low latency.
Thats cool. Its from 2007 though. There is a similar project being worked on by Metaio that uses 3d tracking and runs on most tablet devices:

I think it's a great idea. For mundane tasks like changing tire, setting up a printer (just thinking out loud), even a prerecorded video overlay can be of great help to many. Create this service. Can expand.

I can't think of a single feature here that wouldn't be better using existing technology on cellphones.
Having these things always in your line of vision and no real input options sounds awful.
