Google Glass (Video)

[grkm3]

I could have a blast using this while driving my car,I use my cell to data log and monitor boost,timing,a/f,intake air temps and I have to look to the side to my cell to see this.

this would be so cool to have it right in your view and be able to record a 1/4mile run at the same time.

but not for 1500 lol


edit wrong glass thread

Sergey Brin already says the mass market consumer version will be cheaper. Not sure why all the fuss for the $1500 price tag.

Wait, you have to wear glasses to use this? As mentioned before, this is the first ive heard of Google Glass.

Because plenty of people (like some in this thread) do not understand the simple concept that a brand new type of device, which is not being mass produced and is in the prototyping stages will be far more expensive than the final product.

Imagine a go pro that is in glasses with smartphone tech built in I guess.

$1,500 is a lot, but I'm sure that price would come down over time. I wear glasses anyway, so something like this is appealing, but not for that price. Basically this thing mirrors the same features we have on our phones, so to ask that much is asking a lot. Plus I'm not sure on the specifics as far as prescription lenses, charging, battery life all that good stuff.

As far as the legality goes.... There really is no precedent so I doubt there are any concrete laws against something like this right now. As always it's up to the driver to be safe, and in many ways, if used properly, this would be safer than a dash mounted GPS.

Still think they are going to have a hard time getting people to wear that thing on their face.

Now we'll really be able to spot the hipsters who wear fake glasses.

Glass is a love/hate relationship for me. It looks "geeky" yet is so innovative and as someone else said, light years ahead of the competition. It's a frame with a small "square" in the corner. Weird.

This is not out yet right? Seems too futuristic

It does exist - not to public yet (I believe) - the glasses still look pretty fugly.

It's a nice concept - but scary at the same time haha!
