  • “Google is building a new augmented reality device and operating system”

    The issue I think (as a glasses wearer) a lot of wearable eyewear has is that it generally assumes the person won’t already be wearing glasses. I remember Google eventually fixing this, by letting glasses wearers buy prescription lenses with their Glass. BUT not as a separate attachment for their current, existing glasses. Also how many people really want to walk around in public, looking like a borg?

    So good idea. šŸ‘ Bad execution. šŸ‘Ž

    But in Accel World, they used electronic collarish-looking things that were wired into the user’s brain, so everything they saw through their neurodevices was only visible to them. Whenever they wanted to take a picture of something, they would just think it (instead of telling the device to take a photo).

    Also I am wondering…

    • The scene where the lady was recording a rollarcoaster ride…my own prescription glasses wouldn’t stay on my head until I had someone in the glasses department at Costco custom fitted to my head. I wasn’t even on a rollarcoaster when this happened. Would the users need to have their Google Glass…things be custom fitted?
    • How would this work for glasses wearers? Could we just wear them over our regular glasses? (Which I do with regular sunglasses from Target and have no shame about it. :D)
    • And the most obvious question of all: would we be able to focus on the HUD without giving ourselves headaches?

    It looks cool, but I think I want something a bit closer to Accel World. >_<
