Can't remember if it was Sergey himself or someone here on HN however there was a comment made not long ago that all it would take is for someone like Will.I.Am or other 'cool' celeb to be snapped wearing them out and about and Google Glass is instantly cool as a fashion statement.
Given the massive leap in technology I'll stand behind almost any PR move Google make to get this tech mainstream.
- molmalo 14y agoLike it or not, this is how fashion works. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? And young people like to imitate their idols. Just make a few artists and a few athletes wear this product, and people will buy it.
- moondowner 14y agoThat's also pretty much part of the Beats Audio success. They are featured in tons of music videos, movies and celebrities are spotted wearing them all the time.
- onetimeuse001 14y agoBeats Audio success is also due to need. I have two laptops with Beats Audio, and presumably they got a few bucks from each. When buying them I wondered if there's something special about the speakers and probably made me more likely to buy them, but all laptops have speakers anyway. Glasses are another animal, both price and the cool factor are hurdles.
