maybe not a 'wrong opinion' but
"Just my opinion mind you but this is one of the dumbest products ever."
is just an outright lie.. no way he actually believes that.

Really, you're gonna wear those glasses while performing ballet?
has potential, but half the stuff shown in that video would not be practical in real life

So you would rather hold your arm up to you head instead of holding onto the handlebars and seeing the sms show in your peripheral vision?
Ok to each his own I guess. It seems more like a defend apple at all cost thing to me.
No, a stupid product is stupid no matter who makes it. Remember the iPod Hi-Fi or iPod socks?
I have a buddy who is nearly quadriplegic and has a hard time reaching / grasping his phone to accept calls, access texts / emails, etc. I can see this being extremely useful for him.
you ever stop and think how nerdy it is to carry a big phone/pocket_sized_computer around all day?
Most of smart people wear glasses. So I guess Google glass is not for us
I guess for another $1000 they can embed google glass into the prescription glass. And they can throw a build-in blue tooth speakers.If Apple were doing this people like you will be saying how Apple's ripping off Star Trek. Apple made absolutely nothing inside the glasses. The chips are from company xyz, the glass are from company abc, and assembled by foxconn. All Apple does is marketing.
What's with the hate?
Not only is this a cool thing, it's a good thing. Good so maybe Apple or any other tech company can answer back with something that will help evolve and elevate this type of tech to the next level.
I can't imagine what this thread would like like if it came from Sasmsung.
I think we all know what this thread would look like if it came from Apple.
Yes it's a niche product. But it's a f*$#ing cool niche product.

It is a pity that the industry is all about fake videos.
A roller coaster car is about to go down insanely fast and yet, your head don't move.
An acrobatic plane does a sharp roll and yet, your head don't move an inch.
And it goes.
I wonder if the movies, or pictures, or anything at all would be any useful.
We will see when the first units come out. But I'm quite curious if that will work at all.

These will be a bust... a complete bust. The money & wearable use does not justify a crummy experience.
Basically, this is just the Jetson's talk... if you want to drive cars that fly, go ahead. But cars were meant for the road, and glasses were meant for the sun or a prescript.
I see only glorified UX with no real daily incentives to purchase a device going on my head. Nonetheless, a device with a steep price tag!!!
Annoying use... annoying price.

Do people seriously not see the appeal in this?
It's like a handsfree smartphone for tasks that don't require much input. FaceTime conversations, for instance. Perfect for that. Maps/directions, sending/receiving messages via Siri.
Recording photos and videos without having to take out your phone. It's gonna make apps like Vine really useful. No funny moment will go missed while you struggle to get your phone out in time.
It would go perfectly with my cellular iPad mini which can stay in my pocket when Glass will suffice. Way better than a smart watch that requires you to look at your hand instead of what's in front of you.

Awesome. I didn't think this was a project that would go live, even less within a year from now.
I read the full theverge report. While the author certainly had a lot of self consciousness issues with wearing it (every paragraph ends with "who would want to wear that in public"), it seems that google found ways to actually make this useful in practice.
I wear glasses, my biggest concern is whether I can get my prescription in that frame.
Is this a great, marketable product? I don't know. But it is exiting to see it becoming real. Of course people here would be much more positive if this was an Apple product.

i'm sure you'll be able to have frame options/ prescriptions made eventually..
seems like a lot of professional fields could use these to their advantage..
for instance, throw a safety frame on there and they'll be very good tools in construction fields.. cut lists, assembly docs, etc ..sent straight from the cad files to a seemingly optimum viewing position..
Seriously? I think it's safe to say that regardless of the tech we have, we've compared it to things found in movies based in the future. Yes I'm aware that people said Apple ripped off the ipad from star trek, but they said the same of the first mobile phone. The hologram. almost anything featured in movie or tv series that we actually have now.
