I don't think they realise yet how tiny the screen actually is, even if its a few centimeters from your eyes.
I'm not that excited about Glass anymore
I would love to see what it would be like to play games on google glasses would be funny to be in class or something and just playing games while listening.

I was giving a mini presentation to people at my office about using oculus (I'm doing VR related stuff with some shit-tier third party equipment at the moment and need to move up), and the new (super high pay) designer lady kept interrupting me to say that google was "doing the same thing" with glass but "already partnered up with an architecture firm". I'm still not sure what point she was trying to drive home with it, the way she was saying it, it came off like she was telling me I was late to a party that didn't exist and should just give up altogether
that was frustrating

You also have to look up at the screen so as not to obstruct your regular view.
What google is doing is AR and what Oculus is doing is VR(to dai). So she is just wrong.
Anyway, I don't see this catching on since google glass is still expensieve as fuck and many people wouldn't buy it for gaming.

Give her a demonstration about how wrong she is.
Also pinkeye.

Virtual Reality =/= Augmented Reality, surely she could've known the difference.

made sure she was first in the oculus after that. Got the really generic first timer "ooOAAAAHHHH IT'S LIKE I'M ON VACAAATIOOOOON I'LL NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE THE OFFICE" reaction

so should this article but that didn't stop their first point
I can imagine the future. Loads of free hud apps: "Dragon Ball Z Hud - Free"

Scan every bodies power level, find the strongest person and pick a fight with them.
Omg think if Google gave the glasses a operating system like a computer -_-
Glass's only imput is the camera and voice control. If a big giant Kinect can't take that kind of input quickly and responsively, I have very low faith in Glass to do the same. Once you get rid of that, it's just a second screen that doesn't bring much to justify the pricetag. Looking up at glass for the HUD or what have you is not really a major improvement of looking at a separate part of a screen.
How an exclusionary tech fad can convince the press that it's going to be the next big thing because it is by google and the press desperately wanting to appear like they are in the know
For gaming, I'd take an Oculus Rift over Glass every day. Glass just isn't made for gaming, and it won't revolutionize it IMO.
I doubt anyone will trust anyone when they have google glasses on because of some of its features and I bet there will be some asshole who comes out with a way to rat google glasses so they can spy in on the webcam all they want, plus I bet people will wear these during sex and record
I bet they're going to be dependent on the Wi-Fi networks, just like the Chromebooks.
First the price and then claiming that the Glass will change gaming is a sign that Google is shooting itself in the foot.
I owned a Glass unit, and I returned it. I did everything I could with it, including installing Netflix on it, augmented reality celestial maps, everything I could think of and it just wasn't worth the time or money. People always [I]vastly[/I] overestimate its abilities. In reality, if it's under constant use for more than 10 minutes, it overheats and needs to hibernate. If the screen is kept on, it has a battery life of 45 minutes. Its processing power is measly, and at the end of the day it's a screen in front of your face. That's it. It has no exclusive killer app.
If it were ever to come down to say $400 then I'd probably buy one again, but for texting, messaging, and GPS - what it actually excelled at.

the idea of a linked HUD so you can keep your game UI minimal WAS a cool idea, but we've had products like keyboard screens try to do this in the past. It's a pain to look away from your screen, and wearing glass would be awkward if you're wearing headphones and maybe annoyingly glaring/bright if you're playing in darkness
