Why is the picture quality so bad?
- netrus 13y agoGuess it's because the camera has to be super-tiny.
- rmp2150 13y agoWasn't the camera one of the biggest selling points Google tried to make? Looking at picture quality in the blog post and the Glass demo at Google I/O 2012, there is a clear disconnect, in my opinion.
- dombili 13y agoYes, but I don't think they've ever claimed that the picture quality of the camera was great. They emphasized on the camera a lot because taking pictures with the Glass is way more personal than taking a picture with a traditional camera. After some time, when you go back to look at the pictures you'd taken, you live those moments again the same way you remember them, from your point of view. This was my take anyway.
- rmp2150 13y agoYeah I understand that but whats the point if the quality is not good. Good Idea. Poor execution.
- dombili 13y agoI don't think the quality is that bad, actually. In low light situations the camera obviously suffers, but that's not a big surprise, considering how small the lens is. Then again, I know nothing about photography.
- michaelt 13y agoThe images on the article, like [1] have been downscaled to 480×354 px for the mobile site, then upscaled by your browser. The original can be accessed via the regular google plus interface [2] and downloaded as 2560x1888 px [3] The quality is in line with a phone camera.

- rmp2150 13y agoThank you for clearing that up.
- Kiro 13y agoYou have obviously already made up your mind that the Glasses suck so why do you even want our opinions?
- Dewie 13y ago> After some time, when you go back to look at the pictures you'd taken, you live those moments again the same way you remember them, from your point of view. This was my take anyway. Wow, I've never really thought of it like that. Being able to take effortless snapshots from your own vantage point instead of lining up quasi-staged photoshoots seems pretty... organic (somewhat ironically).
- bryanl 13y agoThe pictures aren't bad. I've taken quite a few with my Glass and most are more than acceptable. The hard part is making sure your head isn't tilted.
