    With many mixed reviews from people who have actually tried the Wonder Specs from Google I was actually interested if anyone see's themselves developing apps for Google Glass in the future? Anyone going to jump onto the band wagon? My opinions on glass are here; http://simonleeshugar.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/google-glass/[^] Interested to see people's thoughts!

    I may get round to it, but it would definitely require more of a tie in to other forms of PerC before I really got into it.

    I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

      I'd love to try, and toy around actually. Bt then, I'm not a service mashup web request blabber guy, so it would probably be something like "Hello", blinking.

      I wonder if you could do any games..... blink when Glass decides to blind you with brilliant white light etc..

          Working in an office building I already thought someone had from the mindlessness of some of the conversations in the hallways. :laugh:


          Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

            Only if someone pays me...

            Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

              I was basically thinking of that - some kind of quit smoking thing or weight loss maybe. If it works for one person and she looks good "after" then you can sell a million copies, even if it doesn't work for most people.

                Yes, you should totally implement <blink>BLINK</blink> for Glass, hopefully it will make its way into the API and stick around for decades for no reason at all :)

                  Very unlikely, unless they put the screen in front of the user instead of the upper right corner.

                      What's the use? It will not sell. Basis for this: "Men seldom make passes/At girls who wear glasses." —Dorothy Parker With the cultural bias against glasses and the market predominance of laser-operation providers and contact-lens manufacturers, that isn't going to change. Only geeks that already wear heavy glasses, and who want to watch porn and play pocket pool while at, or walking to/from, work will really want these. They're already being banned in jurisdictions wise enough to realize that they are a dangerous distraction. Conclusion: don't let hardware [hardwear?] geeks do your market research, unless it's solely to geeks you would market it. That being said, there is still room for a GG "killer app": Autocall911 (in the US & Canada), Autocall999 (in Britain), and Schonverfickt112 (in the rest of the EU). Using motion sensors, it will automatically call for emergency medical attention on severe impact, providing pre-set explanatory phrases to the dispatchers, phrases such as "Help! I've just walked under a bus!" and "Help! I've just been punched in the face by someone who got fed up with the St Vitus-dance head bobbing and antisocial GG-speak I was doing trying to read my email while they thought we were having a conversation!" Oh, wait, there's a hardware add-on that would be great, too! "GlassBag"! No, not a scrotal condition, but one that would use forward-facing video analysis to measure the speed with which objects were approaching the face of someone wearing GG. It would inflate an airbag automatically to protect GG and the wearer's face from things like the power pole, delivery van or bodybuilder he had just walked into.
