Seems really irrational of them to have pushed for a "consumer" version first, which kind of pissed in the well for the whole product (and potentially for all of augmented reality, which is sad). This had to have been a stupid ego decision by management, not a rational product or marketing decision.
- wahsd 11y agoDid you use Glass? There really wasn't any AR potential there. It was and still is really little more than a glasses based notification monitor. There's no augmented reality no virtual reality, it's simply a prismatic notification monitor with some slight basic functionality.
- krasin 11y agoMostly agree with your point. Word Lens for Google Glass was the only functional AR app, but a good one.
- seivan 11y agoBasically 50% use of my Apple Watch - which I'm more than satisfied with. Apple Watch serves as a HUD with haptic feedback when vibration isn't good enough or it's too cold outside to pick your phone out of your pockets. Preferably I'd love a HUD. I've always wanted a HUD ever since I played Doom. Count my ammo and check my reminders. The other 50% is fitness/code related. I like the idea of putting my own stuff on the device which I wouldn't be able to do with a eg Fitbit. From what I understand Glass had an SDK. It would/have such potential!
- rexf 11y agoAugmented Reality has so much potential as an always available source of visible information. I'd love a real-time augmented counter of 'real life stuff'. My apple watch provides convenient access to notifications, but it's not always visible. Especially in colder winter weather where a jacket or sweater covers the watch and makes it hard to interact with the watch at all.
