It sounds like a good "eye-dea", but its not. Reading any real amount of text on Glass gets tiring after a few minutes. It's really best for momentary use. They really did screw up the software. Why didn't it integrate more with the phone in the first place? So much wasted opportunity, even with the physical limitations like resolution, eye strain, and battery life. I've relegated it to large events and vacations, it works great for documenting that stuff!
- hyp0 12y agoregarding eye-strain: do you think it's due to the specific display hardware Glass has at the moment, or a fundamental problem with headsup displays?
- alttab 12y agoThe position is a little tiring, but its semi-transparent, and the text is small, and the resolution is low. Also, you are reading with one eye. That makes a difference after a bit.
- hyp0 12y agoThanks! Semi-transparent and one-eye would be tiring. Fixing them (two-eyes + removable patches) would be a different product, almost an occulus. But it's helpful to see the keyboard... I go bicycle touring, and a heads-up map while cycling would be convenient. Plus, it would require less room to use in a small tent/bivvy bag.
- alttab 12y agoHere is where I've found it good use: biking, hiking, parties/wine tastings/weddings, parades, etc. Driving is a fairly good use case as well. If there is a clear use for it people don't seem to care I'm wearing it, and its pretty fun with Auto-Awesome.
