People called others using it Glassholes and the marketing dept. really didn't see a way to fix that.
It's a shame.
It's really nice concept.
It kinda feels like smartwatches took Google Glass' place as wearables and VR took their place as head mounted tech.
Would love to see smart glasses and lightweight HUD devices do a comeback.

Implying it was at any time 'not wrong'
>>53964182
Enjoy your botnet.

People getting the shit beaten out of them for wearing these.

I really like the concept and I believe it will have a more successful comeback in a few years.
Pointless......
>>53964182
Everything.
cool idea but for people that dont want to wear 1500 dollar glasses its shit.
Sous surveillance creepy sshit
>>53964358
Not turning into Microsoft
Giving most of their services away for free still
on the downside the govt snooping and ads suck
It got btfo by VR

VR is doomed too.

So you're on the changing room after a hard workout session, just about to enter the showers.
This guy comes in and looks at you, and smirking jewishly he touches the side of the device on his head.
What do you do /g/?

>>53966190
Phone VR like Samsung VR is doomed but not PC VR. Once the price goes down for oculus rift and r9 390-grade graphics cards then even normies will start jumping into VR.
VR is the fucking future especially as we get closer to ray traced rendering in vydias.
>>53964358
Alpha go?
>>53964182
memes happened
see: 'glasshole'
>>53966277
No way, phone VR is important because of the price point and the fact more people have capable phones than people who have beefy computers. Phone based VR stuff is doing well.
>>53964358
Smart watches
>>53964380
Nope. Those cars are still too dangerous. Their cars crash all the time in bad weather.
Too far ahead of its time. No one wants to be caught talking to their glasses.
>>53966316
Phones still have dogshit graphics. The main selling point of VR is muh graphics, phones can't deliver. There are already PCs with R9-390 graphics cards being sold for around $1,000. If normies can afford their shitty $~700 flagships then they could also afford gaymen PCs.
Ahead of its time in the sense that the technology wasn't advanced enough for it to be useful or enjoyable.
>>53964182
Few criteria it was missing:
>Both eyes
>Legitimate augmentation, i.e., mediated reality
>16k light field @ 2k Hz
>>53966369
No dude, VR is way more than video games and graphics. Phone VR stuff is a lot of people's first introduction to VR, even if it's just with Google cardboard shit.
The selling point of VR is most definetly not "graphics", all games will actually look worse in VR than otherwise because right now because even a 390 isn't enough to to push the high resolution and frame rate that VR needs.

Yup. Basically normies were very uncomfortable knowing that glass records everything a person sees.
Sounds very stupid to me: they are totally OK with you looking at them (prob. because they understand that your memory isn't perfect), but they are not OK when you look at them through the device that remembers everything perfectly.
Normies' feels of sociality & comfor are so fragile, lel
>>53967052
Yeah they're also fine with cameras on every street corner and light and in every building videotaping them.
>>53967052
Your post doesn't make any sense. It's not about "perfect memory", it's about privacy and your ability to take picture of them without their consent, and the possibility they end up on the internet or whatever you wouldn't want your pictures to be used for.
>>53967109
Yeah, and institution doing that shit is already way enough, there is no need some idiot thinks he should be able to record you because "the gobinment does it too". If you don't understand why people are more eager to trust institution rather than individuals, you're just fucking stupid. The surveillance done by the state with cameras, or by private parties such as companies, have a purpose, mostly security. The surveillance done through google glass has no purpose except allowing a sicko to jack off to your kids.
That's why people are ok with surveillance cam around schools (because it helps with security of children), but they would beat the shit out of you if you started recording pictures or videos of their kids.
You are familiar with the phrase "man's reach exceeds his grasp?"
It is a lie. Man's reach exceeds his nerve. Society tolerates only one change at a time.
>>53966277
>Phone VR like Samsung VR is doomed but not PC VR
Other way around. Normies only going to use VR for porn and phone VR is way cheaper than PC VR will ever be and does that fine.
>>53967052
>normies
What does that make you?
>>53967052
i'm guessing this is a troll but this is the attitude that sergey and larry have, because they themselves are just as fucking socially retarded as you (are pretending to be).
too bad steve died, he would have turned this into something useful, and acceptable to the normies.
when they find a way to integrate the screen into the lens itself in a workable way, and it can integrate with most software as a functionality layer (not having to rewrite everything to use it), i will most DEF be getting eyeglass monitors.
*smirks Jewishly*
>>53964182
I have used google glass multiple times (I am attending Georgia Tech, the guy who started the glass project is head of our devices department) and it is just shit to use.
it has a touch surface in the aide of the glasses that is awkward as fuck to use, voice commands are cancerous, and the screen itself is small and hard to read.
It deserved to die.

I don't understand all this property rights for a picture of someone. It's just a representation photons reflected of someone's skin, you don't own them. Also you are allowing one to see and remember an image of you (what if you have natural perfect photo memory), then it's ok for him to draw you then and use your photo on the internet? How does it differ from google glass?
Shouldn't we as a society shame & sue each other less instead of preventing us from using devices to document our life?
Wouldn't it be a more safe, fair world if we could recall every moment of our life?
Fuckin' normies.
>>53968656
I'm not a troll. What's wrong with being recorded by another person, especially if you have the same hardware and can record him as well? If you don't like being recorded (remembered), then maybe you should hate yourself less or something.
Letting gov't to record your every move but prohibiting the same thing for individuals is just hypocrisy.
Also I don't like that this prohibition implies that I don't even own what I see. I'm only allowed to see something because my natural human memory is foggy. If I were to have an augmented visual memory looking at someone suddenly becomes a crime. Isn't it idiotic?

Technology isn't cheap/advanced enough to have a product like that, people got too hyped for what it could actually do, the day they could fit something like that on a pair of normal glasses (or at least those huge hipster glasses type) and that is at least as useful as a smartphone it could probably sell well.

People who already wear glasses. That's a lot of people. VR is going to encounter the same issue.

Scratch that. People who already wear glasses found them a pain. People who don't wear glasses don't like wearing glasses (Unless they are sunglasses).

Autism
>>53964182
his nose was too big :^)
the technology just wasn't there yet.
google knew this, but still put the product out there to gain experience from real users just so they would have an advantage when the tech finally makes it practical.
what they didn't consider was the fact that people value their face a lot and won't put anything on it unless they absolutely can't live without it.
i think we'll see everyone with AR eventually, it will probably take another decade at least for it to be worth it.

This would be really cool. People more alpha than me could video tape themselves being alpha from first person perspective and then I could observe their recording and study it to become more alpha myself.

It's a smartwatch with an smaller screen and even worse user interface. It doesn't have a use.
you need some high FOV shit if you want to make AR useful. That tiny device is not going to do it.
