How likely is it that Google Glass ends up like Google Wave (i.e., canceled)?
- 27182818284 12y agoIt has been mentioned on HN before that there is a strong chance that Google Glass will become Enterprise only or die. I lean that way, as it seems like all of the new pushes with Glass are for enterprise-ish projects like integrating it into UCI med school http://news.uci.edu/press-releases/uci-school-of-medicine-first-to-integrate-google-glass-into-curriculum/ http://news.uci.edu/press-releases/uci-school-of-medicine-fi... Also, contrary to the reactions about Google Glass, most of the personal smart watch reactions have been pretty positive. Unlike Glass which brought up a bunch of "Ew I'm not wearing that" reactions, the Moto 360's complaints are things like "I wish the battery was longer" or "I hate that it tells me to get off my butt and walk" or "The connection to the charger is a bit frail"
- drivingmenuts 12y agoHonestly, the price for Glass is too high for people who could potentially actually make good use of the product. Get it down to the cost of the frame + maybe a Chromecast or even figure out how to make it adapt to any frame and then your average person will figure out something to do with it. Maybe. It could also be a product in search of an actual problem.
