I don't know who will buy these things anyway, I can't imagine walking around wearing one myself. I already use the apps mentioned on my smartphone.	dugimodo (138)

I don't think anyone will be buying those glasses any time soon. I think cool took a holiday and left the geeky nerd running the ship. As for the iBeacon concept, that certainly seems to be gaining a lot of traction. It's already gotten a lot of use over the weekend at the Superbowl (www.digitaltrends.com)	Webdevguy (17166)
1366834	2014-02-03 23:36:00	Soon wearing Google glasses or similar will be ultra cool, it will give people a great deal of protection from assaults and robberies because with always on recording, all actions around the wearer will be recorded as well as the perps identities, if they steal the glasses they will get caught even sooner. Will also help with road accidents to verify what actually happened.	zqwerty (97)

I think that they may well go though several more industrial design phases before the wearer stops looking like a geeky dork in public . I'm also thinking that the camera in them will need to be a lot smaller so as to become more discreet. If they could be re designed so as to build the concept into a regular pair of name brand glasses so that you were unable to see the camera lense, then you would have a winner but until that day arrives...

1366836	2014-02-03 23:57:00	They biggest problem is the battery pack size behind the ear, the H.U.D. size is acceptable, the lens doesn't seem big to me. blog.varonis.com	zqwerty (97)
1366837	2014-02-05 03:57:00	This all assumes you would actually want Google Glass...	Agent_24 (57)
1366838	2014-02-05 04:56:00	Wont take long before they look like normal reading or other types of corrective glasses that people wear.	wainuitech (129)
1366839	2014-02-06 06:25:00	And of course the most obvious and biggest user of all with their unlimited funds, I can't understand why I did not anticipate this usage. New York Police Department is beta-testing Google Glass, no worries about how they look, or making a fashion statement, probably ordinary citizens will be banned from using them: venturebeat.com You read it here first.	zqwerty (97)
1366840	2014-02-06 22:58:00	But how on earth do they get the screen in focus! How short-sighted do you have to be to read tiny text at a centimetre or two from your eyeball? Obviously they do function, but I'm buggered if I can see how, I have average eyesight and small print is unreadable closer than 20cm from my eyes. Maybe it is laser scanned onto your retina! :devil Cheers Billy :-{)	Billy T (70)
