Let me be the first to say: if you don't want it, feel free to sell it to me (seriously, email in my profile). I tried some out when I was visiting the Bay Area and I did think they were amazing and magical; YMMV. edit: The author mentions that he wasn't interested in developing an app for Glass anyways; I thought that was half the point of the Explorer program (unless you're a skydiver/ballerina/whatever who can pro…
The TOS probitis reselling, loaning or transferring.
One wonders if the tablet (or small tablet) isn't really just the last good form. We've spent decades building towards it. Time to stop and enjoy. (That and make tablets cheap enough to be ubiquitous)
I'm actually wearing Glass for my last day too. First off, I do not have toys to communicate with Glass. I realize that Glass is too early. There are not enough data dumping devices available at decent prices. Withings, vehicle data, health data, all the things people try to keep private. That kind of data is what would be useful with Glassware. The lack of a SDK and depending on RESTful services. I want to toy with…
Can't you create a feedback loop with sensors, an android app and the mirror api? I know it's a kludge, but if your mobile app posted data to your web server, your glass could poll it that way. Of course, the data and battery life concerns only get worse...
I have seen interesting manipulation of the Mirror API to make voice commanded games. I tend to get unreliable ping pong times for real time related materials. Sometimes a card opens instantly, sometimes it takes up to 15 minutes.
That was my basic idea. Device A connects through bluetooth and uploads data to Phone. Phone relays to web service. Web service relays to Glass. It works. Google App Engine/Mirror API is just not my cup of coffee.
Glass, or some offspring, has the potential to be amazing. I really cannot wait to see what comes of this. A beta device utilizing a RESTful API... I knew what I was getting into, but once I got it, there just was not anything I wanted to feed to Glass. Glass hungers.
I don't know if anyone has asked this yet but why does it have lenses if those lenses don't actually do anything? I mean, why not just the display portion in some sort of headpiece instead of including the glass?

Make them usable in bright daylight while you're at it.
