manpe 10,861 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 http://www.google.com/glass/start/Look at this gizmo. I remember watching futuristic films as a kid thinking "no way I'm ever gonna see that", but has the future arrived already? It truly looks like something taken out of a sci-fi movie.Would you buy it? Will it be a hit or a miss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumps 284 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 We still havent mastered voice recognition yet. it rarely works first time! i cant see this being any different. the cameras will be poor as well i'd imagine. it is pretty cool, but id wait for apple/samsung or someone to come out with one so that a rival begins and they just get better and better. maybe in 10/15 years time they will be useful.I wont get one though due to money and that i have a fucking massive nose which doesnt allow me to wear glasses. maybe if they did a contact lens version id be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It will be an amazing miss. I have no confidence in the is product whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Looks so pointless as what was said earlier. Voice recognition is no where near perfect and they will have problems with different peoples accents and so on. Pointless product that will more than likely fail.

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Well, there are a few big problems and one of them is legal. You don't give your permission for your image to be used. Much of the time, this is fine, but there are plenty of times when you don't want people photographing/filming you surreptitiously and consent is really only implied in public places so you'd have to take off your glasses in private places. I guarantee that these glasses will be banned in most private spaces.My bigger problem is this: What the fuck is the point? Have you ever been walking along the street and seen something and thought "hey, I wonder what that is and I don't have 7 seconds to check it up on my phone"? Have you ever thought "I'd like to take a picture of that but can't afford to wait the 3 seconds to take my phone out and snap a photo?" If it comes out, people will buy it because people want whatever is new and hip, but it's completely unnecessary. We have so many real issues in the world that technology could really help-we can't get food to people who need it, we need to get more fresh water to more people, etc...but the people who need these things don't have money and the people who would spend $1,000 on a gadget do.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 As with any new device..I want to see a "field" test before making a judgement. However, I like their idea....not sure about the ergonomics..Reminded me a lot of the scouter from DBZ: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Well star trek days are upon us. Technology moves forward rapidly. There are very few gizmos that have not moved for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
