Warning: IANA-Designer
At the risk of sounding like a small-minded narcissist (I'd like to think I'm a moderately minded narcissist) and being that guy, I really can't get over just how awful glass looks aesthetically, especially with the going-out-to-the-shooting-range sunglasses.
I'm pretty excited about it as a step forward in wearable computing and especially of various types of HUDs, etc, but being the shallow putz that I am, I won't wear it until it's a bit more inconspicuous.
Of course if adoption goes nuts, it might be a moot point, but who knows.
Even the models look like super attractive people wearing some thing on their face.
Then there's this guy: http://whitemenwearinggoogleglass.tumblr.com/image/49192300888 http://whitemenwearinggoogleglass.tumblr.com/image/491923008...
That guy's got the whole thing down, though. Full image package right there. That's the bar for me, as far as geek-chic goes with glass.
- goronbjorn 13y agoThey're in talks with Warby Parker about making more stylish models.
- doorhammer 13y agoNice. That would be cool. I think the whole package will have to shrink for me to really be on board, but it looks like that would definitely be a step in the right direction, as far as I'm concerned.
- goronbjorn 13y agoIf they stay committed to it, it will get a lot better over time, both in terms of functionality and form factor. That's a huge if though.
- turing 13y agoDifference of opinion I suppose. I think Glass actually looks pretty cool. Not inconspicuous by any means, but cool.
- doorhammer 13y agoYeah. To be fair, I'm a bit of a dandy. The hardware itself doesn't look too bad, but I'm really not a fan of the thin line visor-part it attaches to.
- dannyr 13y agoHow do you imagine Glass would look like? Also keep in mind that it should be technically possible. Contact lens should be best but right now, that technology doesn't exists.
