Wish we could see Steve again ... perhaps through an, "I See Dead People" mode on Apple Glass?
$499 would be very inexpensive.
I assume it will be for Notifications, so you don't have to wear a Watch.

glassos ... reminds me of GlaDOS from Portal.
It will allow you down the road to be able to answer email without a phone out. Think of it. A display the size of your vision, that only you can see. Connected to a blue tooth keyboard, on a plane, typing away, no one can see what you’re working on. That’s why I want it. (I’ll wait for gen 3 too) and I’m already a glasses wearerer
Nobody needs automatic memory management in System 7 / Mac OS. Just click Get Info and change the number yourself.
Apple will not make a video iPod.
iPhone will not have third party native applications. Apple should not allow third parties to create native iPhone applications. Web apps are sweet.
iPhone will not have copy and paste. Nobody needs copy and paste on iPhone.

I can promise you that it will be CALLED a flop, by the usual crowd, starting before its released, and continuing for at least the first four years of its life...
Is this really a possibility?
Maybe for quick messages, but for writing a document, it would have to block a large part of your vision.
If any company can make something useful from this is Apple.
Maybe when prices go down, many people who already use glasses might use this instead.
I'm not sure that being a slightly more convenient aWatch is that valuable!
More valuable is interaction with real visual items, the sort of thing that
- sucks on the phone (because holding it at camera angle makes the screen an uncomfortable angle)
- is impossible on the watch.
Examples (ie use cases, who knows what the optics+compute+battery life will offer in the first rev) could be things like
- translation
- convert units/currency
- magnify/increase contrast/provide light for hard to read things
- read/describe for the blind
- identify trees/flowers/animals
- identify things you want to buy ("what do you call this tool thing I am holding")
-shared experiences (your girlfriend visiting Japan can show you what she is seeing walking down the street)
Don't think "watch" or "phone" in the glasses! Think of use cases that exploit what the device is optimal for (what are you looking at, and it CAN KNOW what in the visual field you are looking at).
Maybe there's even scope here for both early detection of learning/visual disabilities, and training you to be more focussed, if the glasses can track where your eyes are darting around as you read a page (or try to understand an art work, or whatever)...?
I wish these were an addon for existing glasses, I don't mind even if they were a little bulky. I'm very curious where they are going with these. The AR stuff is neat, but I'd personally like to actually view my iphone screen on the glasses to be able to browse the internet, browse news, etc. without having to take my phone out.
Just because Google tried something and failed miserably doesn't mean Apple developing the first successful mainstream product in this medium isn't innovative.
As has been repeated a million times: There were MP3 players before iPod, smartphones before iPhone, tablets before iPad, and smartwatches before Apple Watch. Yet these were all innovative products.
I'm not saying they will or won't make it, or whether it will be a flop or not. But it will NOT be called Glass unless they give Google a bunch of money. Google's product may be considered a flop but they are STILL making "smart eyewear" called Google Glass.
If the product is real, it will be interesting to see the response from those who don't currently wear glasses. Since I wear them already, it's no big deal. But if I wasn't a person with glasses or contacts, I'm not sure I would be as willing to give it a try.

I can’t ever imagining wanting to be on social media and seeing what happened there before. Is focus on the now while out with friends. Why would you want the internet in your life all the time. I just don’t get it. Sorry.
Big difference between those things and having people pointing a hidden camera at you any time they look in your direction.

So, you've never seen your friends' and family's home videos or videos of them out enjoying themselves or funny videos? You've never read restaurant reviews?
I get that you and others here have made it clear that it takes a certain type of person to envision the possibilities of augmented reality and overlaying the next generation of the internet over the real world but come on... try a little harder to understand it if you're coming here to discuss it.
I wonder if years from now we will get studies showing how these ruin your eye sight like how headphones ruin your hearing.
Google glass was a bit of text, image or video overlaid in one static Position In relations to the viewer.
This is where Apple ARkit3 is on an iPhone. Proper Occulusion, gestures, Rock solid tracking.
The Glasses will be the missing peice of the puzzle and it just depends on how they cam make them look and work. Cos no one wants Magic Leap or Hololens strapped to their Face.
