It doesn't need 1 "killer app" it needs a bunch of small modular apps, that take away all of my annoyances. If I had a google glass I would write all of these myself. I wish I could get one. If anyone is reading, I'll swap you a kidney for one (haha I'm not kidding)
I have a reminder system that I would like to extend and make public, maybe I could integrate it with google glass.
When I am leaving my house, at 8:15am, it throws up the outside weather and any train delays. If it's raining or cold it suggests I grab the umbrella.
While I'm talking to the station, it quickly lists my todo items for the day, so I can muse on them.
Then onto interesting news articles and summaries (I use a trained nltk "filtering" system to decide what I find interesting)
Glass needs to have several todo lists that I can talk to. I often think of ideas on the fly, I just wanna blurt them out with a voice command and have them on the list, dont want to reach for my phone and write it out.
when I meet someone at the hacker news meetups I wanna say "glass meet john" and it will take their photo and write their name. Later after hacker news meetup I can review the people again as a quick slideshow to help me remember their names.
I want a flashcard system, so that I can learn new things when I have some downtime. Waiting in the lift, I'll do 5 flashcards on organic chemistry I'm learning.
I want an opt-in proximity app, where I can say to it "Glass: next time I'm near John, remind me to tell him about the doohickey". When john is within <n> meters of me, it will prompt me. Location sharing is opt-in and can be taken offline easily.
I want to be able to query it for basic knowledge (what's the speed of light?), nothing too complicated just a wolfram alpha API to start off with.
Edit:
These are all productivity ideas, there needs to be some creative stuff in there too. I think the first one is a meditation app ... 20 mins spare on the train I'd like to meditate with music and scenes of nature. Maybe 3-4 different scene packs (forest, beach, etc)
Also a dribbble app -- I'm not a designer, but often seek inspiration from looking through the galleries of others ("When one's imagination cannot provide an answer, one must seek out a higher imagination") all of this can be done on the gallery app, and give me time to think ...
this can turn all of those downtime moments into either productivity or relaxation!
I'm sure I'd think of other things once I started using it!
