Re: The Unexpected Rebirth of Google Glass
#2This was a pretty solid history write-up for Glass. I still remember when it debuted and I got a test pair to wear for a while as part of the pilot program.
I honestly think we're going to see Augmented Reality (AR) devices go through the same steps and backlash that Google Glass received until it finds the right place/industry to be used. Right now that's looking like education and design, but I could be wrong. Glass looks like it's going to own the medical field if the revival of the product is handled correctly.

#3Hardly unexpected.
This was what the team was initially envisioning while developing, until Brin walked in and decided that if MSM wanted to liken him to Tony Stark he would give them a Tony Stark moment.
This the whole massive and flashy intro of a piece of tech that was never meant for joe on the street usage.

More and more i feel that focusing on consumer use of tech is a wild goose chase. How much tech do someone actually need while not working? If your social life is such that you need an itemized calendar etc to deal with it all then it is a second job.

What about if I want to record all of my fleeting thoughts but don't want to physically jot them down?

Are you saying the real killer app for AR is notes apps? Seems unlikely to me, but I'm interested how you think that UX would look? Why is it better in AR than in a paper notebook/evernote/etc?

This a thousand times.
Unfortunately it's often more "scalable" to produce a uniform product for consumers vs tailored b2b/enterprise products. The former has little market power, the latter a lot.

MSM stands for MainStream Media. It’s sort of another way to say “the media”.
