When I wear sun glasses for a long period of time I get headaches. I find they restrict blood flow to parts of my head above my ears. So it could be just the physical design/weight/tightness of the frame. There's no way I could wear my sunglasses for 8 hours straight and they aren't carrying any kind of special electronics.

At the same point of time , using glass you need to concentrate on small area to see information on screen(based on glass videos) , so I think its design issue which can be improved .

#13This google glass. I do not understand.

#14I wish google was less opaque about procuring a google glass. I did their begging/twitter spam but was not one of the chosen few. They do not even release projections on when they will release more. They never email me even though I signed up for their list. Oh well....
Want my invite? Let me know how to reach you. (I thought about buying it and returning it after 30 days, but feel like that's kind of a dick move. And no way I'm actually laying out 1500 for it.)

Consider looking into some larger frames -- I had the same problem, then my wife bought me some sized sunglasses (from Persol) that fit my giant head perfectly. No more headaches.

#16I don't like wearing them if I have a headache already, but they don't cause me to have one. My headache with them is other people.

#18I was very disappointed with my Google Glass experience. Incredibly difficult to setup - it never synced properly with my Android devices, couldn't get it to scan my wifi network, and baffling controls. Add to all of that I never found a single compelling use case. It was an interesting, but frustrating, novelty.
I was ready to go when I signed up to be a beta tester. I was ready to transform my entire, dull life just to seem more active for the beta phase (We want active testers!) but then Google called my bluff and asked me to fork over $1,500. Ouch! I was expecting maybe a third of that.
Did you feel disappointed with losing out on the money, or did that aspect not factor into your afterthoughts much?

#20If you don't want the disadvantages of a display and what you care about is the video recording use-case, feel free to check out my product Epiphany Eyewear.

I know self-promotion is frowned upon and I'm sorry for that, but manufacturing & programming this product is all I do 15 hours a day x 7 days a week, so at this point it's my whole life and I feel like this is a relevant opportunity to mention it for people who are looking for an alternative / complementary product to Glass. Cheers!
