Google Glass app that streams subtitles from Netflix, Hulu, or even cable TV. I rely heavily on subtitles to watch TV (I'm very hard-of-hearing), but I've found that my [hearing] friends don't like subtitles very much. It would make my life 10 million times easier if I could watch TV with subtitles or closed captioning without having to subject my friends to that as well.
I don't know jack shit about Google Glass, but this is so high on my list of wants that I'd drop $1500 for a Google Glass just for this app, assuming it worked well and as advertised.
Someone make this happen.
- karangoeluw 13y agoI remember an app demo in my last hackathon: when reading the Bible in hebrew, English translation appeared on Glass. Your idea isn't hard to work on, but I don't have a glass to do it.

- karangoeluw 13y agoNope. It was an app for glass.
- vishaldpatel 13y agoWould you be willing to constantly stare at the top right corner of your eye, away from the screen in order to read the sub-titles? I know in some video players, such as Amazon's, you can control the size of the subtitles. Perhaps this is more ideal than having to constantly switch focus away from the screen.
