Well if it's an iPhone you do.

You are ridiculous.

 

[3phemeral]

"And this is the reason why I'm excited about Glass."

*doesn't want to be here*

 

[MThanded]

Well if it's an iPhone you do.

You so clever.

 

[Leonsito]

I see a lot of people will start to forget their glasses accidentally in their hot female friends rooms.

 

[kkaabboomm]

why focus on video/photos?

1) video/photos are compelling
2) we can't show you/demonstrate easily the other stuff they use
3) small team, not a bunch of time to implement stuff.



but why not show the HUD at all?

but: google glass explorer!!

 

[JaggedSac]

Google show us some damn real time language translations(based on visual and audio input) or some shit.

 

[Vanillalite]

And you see the status change live on the HUD while cheating on her!

No cause she'd change her status on the site people actually care about aka FB!

 

[clav]

Explorer Edition?

Just looks like a webcam attached to plastic.

 

[LyleLanley]

can't wait when your GF hacks your google glass and sees you fucking another girl live and switches her FB profile to single....

If you're stupid enough to wear these glasses while you're cheating on your girlfriend you deserve everything that comes your way.

 

[Achtius]

pre-order for attendees

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

explorer edition=beta tester

 

[ThatObviousUser]

WHAT!!!!!!!

PREORDER FOR IO ATTENDEES

GODDAMNIT

 

[CrunchinJelly]

'Explorer Edition'

aka

Wearable GoPro.

 

[jokkir]

"US-based"

Fuck.

"IO Attendees"

Shit.

 

[zbeeb]

way better than free tabs!

$1500, early next year

 

[giga]

Really cheap.

 

[kagete]

I like how the the glasses look just like Tag Heuer's sports frames from around 4 years ago. Best $400 I've ever spent on glasses tbh.

 

[Enco]

$1500 :lol

 

[MThanded]

Google: "Buy this thing so we can actually find some uses for it."


1500 dollars wtf.....

 

[Hoo-doo]

FIFTEEN HUNDRED US DOLLARS

 

[SRG01]

FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS?!

 

[Sean]

$1,500 lol

 

[kkaabboomm]

$1500 for early 2013? hmmmm.

 

[Raistlin]

Isn't that like saying when the iPhone was unveiled what's the big deal about seeing the full web in a browser? You're just showing the Internet. The form factor and device that allows you to do that is a big deal.

There are Android goggles already.


That said, I'm not dismissing the overall package ... it and the services do make it a big deal. I was referring to the specific feature being demoed - live streaming. I don't understand why that specifically was causing people to freak out from a tech standpoint.

If people were just freaking out about the crazyiness of pulling off this stunt in general ... I get that and apologize. A few seemed to be freaking out about the specific feature though, and that's what I didn't get.







Also ... $1500 damn 0_o

I agree, the idea is cool but this demo makes it look like it's just a web connected camera.

Yes, that's all I was saying.

 

[Paznos]

$1500 wow. Guess we won't see a consumer product for a few more years.

 

[gamma]

$1500 and 2013 :S

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Holy shit $1500!!

Next year?!

Damn.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

The eBay prices are going to be insane. I'm betting $2000-3000.

 

[Zaph]

In before dozens of tech blogs review the device as a consumer product and give it a 2/10.

 

[Awesome]

This thing is at least 3 years off from what they want to do.

 

[LyleLanley]

$1500! I'll take two!

 

[BadWolf]

Too rich for my blood Google, no thanks.

 

[thespot84]

those crocs...

 

[Hoo-doo]

That was a fucking trainwreck of a presentation.

 

[bananas]

What the hell kind of presentation is this? Was it not rehearsed?

 

[SRG01]

By the way, it's obvious that he's looking into his Glass for his cue notes.

 

[MThanded]

Why push this tech out so early if you don't even know what to do with it. Seems really backwards to me. Mature it in house a little bit more.

I mean i understand get it to the hands of devs. However, I'm betting it's so alpha its probably not even worth it from a dev perspective.

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

So this is worth either 4 Galaxy Nexuses or 5 Nexus Q's.

And so far it's just a camera.

 

[jokkir]

LEL TAYLOR SWIFT

Shots fired at Kanye

 

[gamma]

This thing is at least 3 years off from what they want to do.

Someone has to do the pioneering.

 

[CharminUltra]

$1,500??

Sony's stupidly ridiculous $500 announcement finally beaten!!!!!

 

[massoluk]

Like I said, they are trying to market it to the billionaire, spelunking, BASE-jumping crowd.

 

[LyleLanley]

By the way, it's obvious that he's looking into his Glass for his cue notes.

That would've been a pretty cool demo if they showed that feed.

 

[JordanKZ]

Just bought me a 16GB Nexus 7. Bring it! :3

 

[bananas]

Oh yeah! This stuff!

 

[Zaph]

If even Sergey was fumbling you can bet their teleprompter died mid-presentation (also notice they were constantly looking down, probably someone feeding them notes from a screen manually)

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I bet some will, but they seemed to handle the Cr-48 OK so I have hope the majority won't be that dumb.

The alpha versions aren't hitting until like 6 months from now dude.

 

[jokkir]

I'm guessing it's $1500 because it's not being mass produced yet?

 

[SRG01]

No, he's probably looking into his glasses.

 

[jobber]

I'm in for 4 pair if the battery life is good
