We seem to be making one conversation out of 2 points. Point one: The video is nonsense, Point two: Will Glass be successful? Video: I agree that it should have been anchored to current reality, like the Google Plus and self-driving car videos were. But I don't think the video itself was a bad play. RIM/Blackberry released a future-world video back in October (seems to be unavailable now) that had many far away ideas. Gruber criticized it, of course, but I feel like he was right – because in RIM's budget there was no allocation for these imaginary products. Google is actually creating these devices. Glass: As for the hokeyness of having an extra band over your face – technology tends to bend to the habits of our lifestyle. This is what makes being an inventor/entrepreneur frustrating – watching others create applications or devices that people just won't rewrite their whole way of life to use. Seeing people passionately build devices you know have no chance – because they ask the user to change their habits – is cringe inducing. So I get why people might get a bit of that feeling from this device, because I feel it too. On the other hand, humans love incentives and if this device ramps up productivity by doing many of the operations shown in the video (albeit, less fluid) it might be a sell. If you can get people to wear a Bluetooth device in their ear all day, this might be a slight extension of that.
