Google Glass isn't AR. It's a tiny HUD. AR understand your immediate visual context, not just your situational context, and can display any kind of overlay, anywhere in your field of vision.
- ozgung 11y agoTechnically true but I don't think consumers care much about that distinction. They care about the value provided by the device and I think the value provided by AR over context aware HUD is incremental rather than revolutionary. The disruptive part is bringing the screen in front of the eye in glass form factor which seems failed.
- BatFastard 11y agoIf they cared about the value provided by the device, they would have adopted it. Instead everyone focused on how it looked (or how you looked wearing it), how it was invading everyone else's privacy by having a video camera, and how you might be beat up going into a bar with one. It had nothing to do with the value provided by it.
