That's exactly what I meant when I replied to your snarky comment. Word for word
Think whatever you want, at least google is innovating at the moment. Can't say the same about Apple.
Just my opinion mind you but this is one of the dumbest products ever.
Sure... One device helps a blind person see on an imaginary TV show, whilst the other device is a real world device that relays information onto a screen for someone that isn't blind. Totally comparable. .
I bet most people here would buy the stupid iWatch over this just because Apple makes the watch.
Apple never shows off what they are developing before they are actually going to release it.
"innovating" is easier when you are willing to throw anything at the wall and home something sticks.
An opinion cannot be wrong.
Actually it can. If it was my opinion that women should lose the vote, then my opinion is wrong.
But I was only being half serious with my statement!
It's dinky looking glasses today but one day it will be contact lenses.
You make a good point, but, while that opinion may not be the same as your beliefs, that doesn't make it wrong. While there are other issues with that statement, the opinion itself is not incorrect. But let's not get into a debate like that here.
My final statement:
The Chromebook Pixel is a terrible idea, no matter how good the product itself might be. While the chromebook in general is a fine product, making a half baked notebook more expensive than any other product of its kind on the market is not.
That being said, Google Glass is merely, in my opinion, a stupid product. The technology is cool, don't get me wrong, but why do I want to wear something like that on my face? For everyone on this same forum who said SIRI was stupid cause you had to talk to it in public must think this is a terrible product...in theory.
I have no issues with Google, I'm just not impressed with their latest bringings. That goes the same for Apple. Either way, I'm curious to see the evolution of Google Glass.
That's a pretty ridiculous stretch.
I don't think Google Glasses are the future at all. Even if they offered full augmented reality HUD with eye tracking where the user activated elements cognitively, I don't see the market for being constantly connected to a digital reality.
The only thing ridiculous is your short-sightedness and arrogance.
LOL OK buddy. You're right, the leap from Google glasses to contact lens computer is quite reasonable.
Soon it will be impossible to be in public without everyone instantly knowing who you are.
With the current rate of advancements in nanotechnology, it could eventually be a viable product.
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.
One whole pixel?
For tech that's so far away from being feasible, you seem way too invested in this being "the future".
How are you so sure it won't instead be an earpiece that interfaces directly with your brain, one that's controlled by thought and forms images directly in your mind?
