I'd suggest they design the device as something that clips on to spectacles. I don't see why anyone would wear this thing if they weren't going to wear spectacles (why have the whole stupid frame?) and it's not going to work for spectacle wearers (which is a lot of us).
As for the comment about making something that doesn't come between the user and the physical world -- how about not using this device?
I think it's an intriguing concept, but right now it's a solution looking for a problem. Building software this way is relatively cheap (Google Wave...) but hardware?
It makes me think that an audio-focused UI that allowed commands via throat mike might be a good way to go.
- microtherion 14y agoI agree that wearers of prescription glasses would make an excellent target group: We're already comfortable with the mechanics and aesthetics of wearing a device in our face, and many of us are also used to spending $$$ for eyewear.
- nym 14y agoI would totally do this.
- praxulus 14y agoI think the problem is that it's too big. Until they can shrink it down more, it's more likely they'll attach lenses to glass, rather than glass to frames. >As for the comment about making something that doesn't come between the user and the physical world -- how about not using this device? It's less intrusive than pulling out your phone to take a picture while playing with your kids.
