To me scoble is an attention whore. Does anyone remember this image of Scoble wearing Google Glass? http://sitegoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/904635_10201...
Yes, I find him really annoying taken unfiltered. But when he's good, he's really good.
Sadly, writing on social media reveals his greatest weakness. He really needs to write for someone who tosses out about 90% of what he generates.
However, post-Snowden I don't see myself using either.
From 97% of news articles / reviews google glass is a voice activated camera. While this is mildly interesting it's the only use anyone has for the device. Who cares about this feature? It's not especially new, exciting or a good user experience.
If google could distill google glass into a single statement like "1000 songs in your pocket" we might understand it.
What is the equivalent statement for google glass?
Something about the authors writing style just rubs me the wrong way. Kinda like an advert that was carefully crafted by a team with the sole purpose of triggering a specific emotion. That being said, I did actually learn something from that wall of text: The fact that Glass needs to be specifically fitted to the wearer is definitely problematic. I'm curious how G will work around that from a logistical PoV.
1. Has to have a light to indicate recording, or everyone around you will be paranoid. (Most people will still be paranoid, but at least you can say "No red light, it's not recording!"). 2. Will probably be very popular as a cyclist camera. Cyclist who just want a decent 720p camera to record cycling activity (evidence against dangerous drivers), but don't want to attach a dorky camera to their head (i.e. GoPro), wil…
My bet is on Google Glass going the way of the Segway... ...that is to say, ridiculed by the general public, but finding a bit of a niche in certain industries. The police, postal carriers, etc. @cstross did a pretty good job of convincing me that some form of augmented reality would be very useful for the police. There is a real-life push right now to get police wearing cameras too, I think this sort of device could…

Same usual mistake: Google Glass is NOT a proper HUD (Heads Up Display), or a proper form of Augmented Reality. It doesn't project anything on the main vision area, but only on the little screen on the upper right side.

That said I do see helmets with HD cameras and wireless controls in the future. Trademark™ and all that.
