http://econogirl.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/braces.jpg The metal line is reminiscent of a head brace, while the projector makes you look like cyborg escaped from a Halloween party. They will need a stunning amount of marketing and advertising for this to become socially acceptable. I guess it could be a little bit worse, I can see they were trying to go for sleek... I think the greater problem was that the actual us…
I would be willing to pay a fair share of money for the identification feature. It doesn't even have to identify strangers, just help my incompetent name-memory center remember the names of people I've met and where I met them. Some people can't remember names; some people can't remember faces. I can't remember either. :(
I can remember names and faces, but many times I have trouble remembering the mappings between them.
I always imagined a world where some device would do the auto ID. Guess we're now living in the future. :)

#185Several days ago - there were a bunch of stories about Google opening retail locations around the country. I think the reason they will do this is obvious: they want people to use their products in person. To me - for Glass to be successful - they will have to allow people to play with them. This is the kind of thing that would sell amazingly in a retail setting. Imagine the line of people lining up just to put one o…
Google needs to put as much Wonka into these stores as humanly possible. I would love to see an all robot sales staff starting from day 1.

I played World of Warcraft for a bit, and there was a HUD overlay onto the screen. After a while, you kind of get used to it. Also, the devs could make it so that you could control the opacity of the HUD, the position/size, or turn it on/off based on gestures.

what is "real" life? I just bought a coffee, but didn't make it myself, a machine did. is it real?
Re: Google Glass
#188Those are the use cases ? Are they serious ? Not a single one of those occurs routinely enough to warrant you wearing glasses all the time. I don't understand why they aren't positioning this for more serious markets e.g. education, training, factories, stock taking, hospitals, administration etc. Could have been far more interesting and allowed some far more interesting tie ins with their existing products.
Recording playing with my kid seems very compelling to me.

Re: Google Glass
#190I 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.
Most devs (including myself) are butt ugly - these glasses won't make you look worse.
