From a strategic point of view I think that one of the main goals with Google Glass is to map and store information about areas that cant be reached easily via car, plane or other transportation method. I am pretty sure that as soon as we see Google Glass in the public Google will have software that can combine photos and videos with GPS-data so that we get Google Street View even in areas such as the himalayas, forests and other areas where a person can reach but no vehicle with advanced photo equipment. It is a big crowdsourcing experiment.

- hising 14y agoI am starting to see some really good use cases here, that was an awesome idea. I think there are so much you can do to increase motivation when it comes to fitness with stuff like that, audio cues, real life achievements etc.
