#2Can you retitle this to "Google Glass"? I know the policy is to copy the original title, but "Glass" is too generic.
Re: Glass
#3In many of the reviews - the camera is noted as one of the most useful or interesting current features. As unique as the camera perspective offered by Glass may be - virtually none of my favorite photos using traditional cameras were taken at head-level.

#4You might want to check which of your eyes is dominant. At Google I/O they mentioned that if Glass shows on your dominant eye that it might be a safety issue - but if it's on your non-dominant eye, it'll be more of an overlay and less of an obstruction to your vision. They're working on a mirrored version that goes on the other eye.

Given the topicality of the word I very much doubt that many HN users will confused.

#6Anyone want an unsolicited opinion? waits for everyone to leave
I hope Google Glass is an experiment, because voice reco isn't particularly important outside of when you're driving. When I get tired of texting and consider voice reco, 2 things hit me (and others, I've done solid research on this)
1. Voice reco would be slightly better now that I'm tired of texting, but not much. 2. It is nowhere near socially acceptable to be speaking to no one. That's why you only see old people using bluetooth - how is that not an unbeatable sign? You can't just be speaking to no one.
The next step in communication has to be either low input "aware" communcation (aka, the check-in) or communication that somehow otherwise reads your mind.

Glass is cool as shit though. I think it's a step in learning what boundaries we can push. I might even wear it if I almost never needed to talk to it.

#8I spent an hour tonight debating someone on how the Oculus Rift is revolutionary while Glass is not. The first hand reviews of the Rift vs Glass are night and day. One is the future the other is meh.

Interesting that Sergey Brin called Glass basically done when something as major as a mirrored version is in the works. That doesn't bode well for the project.

I don't think that glass will take to many beautiful photos. The lack of framing, the uncertainty of the moment of capture, and the compromised size of the optics and sensor argue against it.
But it gives you the opportunity to take photos that you'd have missed with less available hardware.
