You're paying $1500 to beta test a product. What's not clear is whether you get the final product when ready.
isn't the point that you're buying a developer kit?

To develop apps for which you make more than $1500. Similar to how developers want the latest iPhone/Android device to test their apps on.

#13Awesome video which looks almost just as awesome even if you take out the glass. But nevertheless, awesome product.
Re: Google Glass
#14I didn't realise how bad it looks. The premise looks awesome. The demo video... awesome. The way the product looks on someone's face... this isn't the finished product right?
I think Google should look at designer glasses and outsource the design to someone who knows what they are doing.

The technology is not limited to one design. Just like mobile phones look different.

You're paying $1500 to beta test a product You say that as if this is a USB dongle. This is sci-fi stuff. Who cares if it's beta?
No to throw cold water here but Is it really? It seems to be rather trivial integration of currently known and available technologies with bit of miniaturization efforts. Nothing that 5 year old iPhone can't do with albeit more convenience. Space elevators, 100% artificial life form, fusion reactor of the size AA batteries - now that, my friend, would be sci-fi stuff.

#17This actually lookes awesome.
To bad Europe is left behind for a big launch :( (but i live in Belgium, i'm used to it by now :P)
Re: Google Glass
#18I think this technology could replace mobile phones. I just notice how often i need to grab my mobile phone, just to check some little peace of information I need. When i'm in the car I cannot grab it.
Note that the glasses look ugly, but they are already developing lenses with screens in it. This is basically technology becoming one with your brain.
I want one bad!

IT'S A HUD FOR REAL LIFE!
WHAT ARE YOU NOT GETTING HERE?
Re: Google Glass
#20This is a real bummer, I have to wear glasses and can't wear lenses. Is there any information if there will be support for custom glasses being attached?
