- WorkLifeBalance 9y agoIt should have been a killer-app for google glass. Had google glass not stored video and processed everything in real-time it could have avoided the "glasshole" stigma. People would have likely mocked it for not being able to capture video, something they could have added in later in "response to demand". The world doesn't need more omni-present recording devices, but solid AR would be a net benefit.

Hopefully ARKit/ARCore will make it easier to create the next the-future-is-now level of awe-inspiration app.
- weltstub 9y agoPokemon Go still has millions of active daily players, more than many games that have e-sports tournaments. It's in active development. New features are added all the time. Sorry it's not for you, but pretending that it was a flash in the pan is just ignorant.
