Am I the only one who wants these only to write new software for them? Voice-controlled is nice and flashy, but I doubt would suffice for any "real" work. I, personally, like the idea of gloves and a windowed interface on HUDs, the kind of gloves that let you tap your fingers to do certain actions, along with some identifier for tracking so you could "click" on the screen. I was also thinking about looking into a 3d windowed interface, relative to your glasses, but detachable into the enviroment so you could put you virtual keyboard on your desk and go get coffee; when you came back, it'd still be there.
- theon144 15y agoAbsolutely. The concept video they released did nothing for me, but I'd absolutely love to tinker with them. Let's hope they aren't going to be too expensive, and that they will be open to modifications (though knowing that this is Google, I'm not too worried about it).
- DasIch 15y agoI really hope we can remove the gloves and use image recognition instead.
- nightpool 15y agoThe reason I like the gloves is it provides you with the 8 click-like functions, more if you use more then two fingers, and you don't even have to have it in the field of vision of the camera to use it, letting you keep your hands by your sides and maybe use eye-tracking for "mousing"
- zephjc 15y agoGloves would be a '90s throw-back solution when the Google Glass device should be using the camera to detect your finger/hand positions.
- DanBC 15y agoData-input gloves honestly sound like an awful idea. At least when typing you have something to rest your arms on. Just waving them in the air for however long sounds like hard work. But your general point is something I strongly agree with. I can't wait for better man machine interfaces and a better metaphor than "the desktop" or whatever is being used for mobile nowadays.
