Awesome awesome awesome. I'm super psyched about this stuff. I'm going to pre-order a pair. Anyone (from Meta maybe?) have any details on the SDK? I see "write code in Unity3D on a Windows PC" from their Kickstarter, but curious if that's the latest word...
I would also love some more information on the SDK. $700 is a little steep but I would probably spring for it depending on what I can do with the development kit.
Their stylized logo looks like it says "METH".

Most people wouldn't want to look like a geek, typing on a handheld computer while out with friends. Yet here we are.
And they didn't until apple made them sleek and sexy. It will be the same with these glasses.
I wish them the best of luck but it seems to me like they're really overselling themselves.
Look like a great idea and technological advancement, but the biggest thing holding back Google Glass is not that it lacks feature X. Glass will be held back because most people don't want to look like geeks. Meta's next design looks like it's from an 80's Sci-Fi movie. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but there is no way I could take someone seriously wearing those things.
The 2 things that Glass will have to overcome:
1)The not-so-fashionable look. I'm sure this'll be corrected in the future.
2) The way people feel about a device that may or may not be recording them at any given moment. Let's not even mention anything about a red light glowing during recording because we know that'll be hacked out. Google Glass will be able to record you without you knowing, period. People will simply have to accept that or the product will fail or get banned in so many places it'll almost be not worth owning at all unless you're a hardcore geek. Then of course someone does some super slick mod where Glass just looks like any ordinary pair of glasses; then mass paranoia breaks out and either people get over it or any glasses are banned. ;)
Mind you this paranoia will be happening despite the fact we've had wearable hidden HiRes cameras smaller'ish than a penny for over a decade already... http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/product/b-w+indoor+high+re...
Damn... Where are our flying cars? Who cares. We have Meta glasses.
