It's a cool stunt, but I don't quite understand why everyone is so excited about this as a tech demo - surely a head mounted camera is the least interesting use of Google Glass, and the big unknown is how it looks on the user side?
- roc 14y agoIt's a shame they over-promised out of the gate. If they didn't start with that absurd concept video, revealing a life-blogging/recording peripheral with future potential would be pretty interesting. Instead, it's a guaranteed let-down every time they demo an incremental step like this.
- modfodder 14y agoThis. I was disappointed there was no HUD showing GPS data or any data really. In hindsight the streaming was impressive, but I just couldn't get over that I wanted to see more from the concept video.
- ok_craig 14y agoIt was cool because it was live streaming from four separate devices at the same time into a hangout, and they were switching views between them live. Impressive that they all somehow had a stable enough internet connection while flying through the air.
- frankydp 14y agoAgree. Connectivity is the hard part about streaming, not the recording. I was also confused why I could not replicate with a helmet mounted cell phone. I was pretty let down by the whole thing. It must have been a "had to be there" kind of demo because it doesn't translate to a video i guess. I was in the living room with a couple non-tech people and I saw the post on HN and pulled it up on the TV. First comment was "why is a bunch of helmet cams amazing?". I did not bother explaining.
