How does Google Glass help me fly a plane or do the trapeze? It doesn't of course. But they're showing me that using Google Glass feels like flying a plane or doing the trapeze.
"How it feels" is not how it feels, it's other peoples' experiences. And I feel like it implies that you will have these great experiences if you use Google Glass. How does Google Glass add anything by displaying weather or recording a weird first-person video while playing with your kids or your dog in the park?
- mikegioia 14y agoWell, it could make you WANT to do those things now that you have the glasses. I've never considered sky diving but if I could easily record sky diving like this, then maybe I would do it.
- jcromartie 14y agoI really don't see how being able to record sky diving would make me (or anybody) want to go skydiving. What about the experience itself? Is that worth nothing now, and only the recording of it is worthwhile?

- base698 14y agoSkydiver of 14 years here. I am eager to see something that has information regarding how close you are to others in the air. About half or more of the 20 fatal incidents a year are due to people colliding under a fully open/working parachute. A visual warning system to remove the blind spot behind you would be great.
- jff 14y agoLots of people have had the mistaken impressin that Glass magically overlays your entire vision--see all the breathless posts about ad banners being automatically rendered onto your cereal boxes. Seems to me that the video is about your view with Glass, how it's just a little screen in the corner, and what the UI looks like.
