I like the idea a lot more than other implementations (although I still think the original google glass was great), but I do feel the market for these, outside of the bankers and financial industry that loves to show off with tech, is primarily dorks like myself, and dorks like myself often like to be able to fiddle. The fact I can't be trusted to install applications that I can make as I go with an easy to use api seems a mistake. I see the even hub but that seems far off considering there is no details about it.

- volemo 11mo agoThey have an open BLE based protocol, you can display whatever you want on the screen. https://github.com/even-realities https://github.com/even-realities
- ktallett 11mo agoI am not seeing anything mentioning that via this link.
- volemo 11mo agoThere is a big README panel saying: > We have now released a demo source code to show how you can build your own application (iOS/Android) to interact with G1 glasses. > More interfaces and features will also be open soon to give you better control of the hardware. With a link to the demo app just below that with a detailed explanation of the protocol and currently available features.
- ktallett 11mo agoWell that was awfully blind of me! Apologies!
- j-bos 11mo ago> The fact I can't be trusted to install applications that I can make as I go Thanks this was key in deciding whether to consider this brand at all.
