It's not perplexing. People don't want it. They thought Glass was ... nerdy and creepy.

- brador 11y agoBecause it was shitty low res with few viable use cases. Make it high res, full view AR, nice robust design and actually useful and it will blow up.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoIt would only be a niche.
- realusername 11y agoI think it depends of the kind of service you provide to the customer, if there is no real obvious advantage to use-it, mainstream adoption will never be there. Currently, the technology is not good enough and the services are not either, the current glasses are more prototypes than anything else. But it does not mean that in the future it will still be the case.
- prodmerc 11y agoI don't know, the HoloLens looks like the future...
- aianus 11y agoSays who? They never even let people buy it. I would have bought one just for shits and giggles.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoSaid anyone who saw one IRL. Said patrons in restaurants. Ok, so _you_ would have bought one. The vast majority? No.
- greggman 11y agoPeople didn't want Newtons either and PDAs were considered nerdy. Now you're a outlier if you don't have one. People will want it when it's presented correctly with the right UX and it has the right set of features.
- johnchristopher 11y agoIt remains to be seen if the `glasses' failure was just the wrong UX and the wrong set of features. Not saying it wasn't but sometimes some products will never make it because they are inherently flawed (on the top of my mind: 3D movies).
- greggman 11y agoWTF was this downvoted? What did I say that pissed people off so much they felt this was worth of a downvote? First off 7 French natives have told me the minimum is 2 months. 3 work at Nintendo of France. 1 works at a Nuclear Power Plant. 3 are currently working in Japan, 2 in Kyoto, 1 in Tokyo. They might have been wrong but that's what they believe. Second it doesn't matter if it's 40 days off a year or 25. That's still INFINITELY MORE THAN THE USA which is ZERO and still entirely makes the point that lots more vacation than is typical in the USA is at least something to be considered.
