i kinda want one
feel like i'd lose it, though. i've never owned a pair of shades more than two weeks

Don't people realise how STUPID they look wearing these?
Watch out for a huge spike in pedestrians getting smashed by cars, trains buses...
- "Huge spike"? It won't be that popular.i_monk
- so how should it look?scarabin
- how should it look? Wrong question.BusterBoy
- if it's not the design, you're opposed to what... it being eye-based?scarabin
- what's the stupid part?scarabin
- nobody's gonna be googling while jaywalking anymore than they would be with a phone. if you can afford it, you're not stupid enough for thatscarabin
- stupid...scarabin
- I just find the whole concept ridiculous. Just my opinion.BusterBoy

Watch the Ch4 TV show "The entire history of you"

man, you lot sure are a fashion-conscious bunch. can't get past the idea that someone you don't even know might raise an eyebrow at you to see how cool the device is. it's a fully functional, feature rich HUD like in sci-fi! pretty futuristic stuff!
how would you design it?
- prophetone0
i would go for it if were integrated into some regular shades. like frogskins or raybans, etc. that's just me. not into the flimsy design, but the tech is dope. ideally... i would integrate them into my virtual boy gogs and sport my power glove as well for full effect.

The kiddies with add their flare to it. Stickers, jewels, etc. it'll be cool. The sci-if aspect of what it does is all I care about tho.

i think this is this is really just the beginning for this concept and it will take time to become the norm. i mean look at it at his point. it's as clunky as clunky mcclunkerson. integrate it elegantly into a lens, making it seemingly invisible, and we're cooking w/ gas. that will be where the money is, perhaps, licensing this and allowing eyewear companies to integrate it into their existing products. maybe?

i just see it like those bluetooth earpieces people go around talking on the phone with. people thought they were silly looking but now it's so common nobody thinks twice. they're always going to be associated with people who embrace technology, however they stand in society's eyes, but everyone can see their utility.
that said, i'm not gonna be sporting one until they're smaller and less obvious but that's more of a design thing for me.
i think if this thing was 300 bucks a ton of people would go with their curiosity and get one, and that weird phase would pass sooner

all it needs is celebrity endorsement.
saturation will trickle down after that any number of ways as long as the interface / experience is solid and beneficial.
- scarabin0
they seem to be aware of this too, it feels like their whole campaign is focused on showing it on cool, stylish, attractive people and showing us we can have one without being a supernerd

it'll be okay, no matter how they look...
eventually these aren't allowed anywhere public or private owned buildings because they're a camera, plus whatever privacy issues people may have
-
though inversely there is a possibility for the best first person reporting / documentation and exptrapolating even further, film making ever.
privacy rights though, may be a social acceptance issue
#firstpersonperverts and the such- next they'll ban mobile phones everywhere because they have cameras too. /seficks
- i want the last onescarabin
- ever been to a museum and tried to pull out your phone to record video, a government building, most concerts, etc?albums
- so they are banned from certain places? the glasses are removable...eficks

i love how nowadays technology is constantly bending our laws
- scarabin0
what worries me is the idea of the feds tapping into our feeds and using us as cctvs.
they already have systems that use facebook as its data source, and with face-recognition (in use at the statue of liberty by the government since 2003 for identifying muslims)... shit just gets creepy
- scarabin0
there are devices that disable digital cameras within a certain proximity. these could be more widespread if privacy becomes a major concern...

ideally there'd be hacks to get around that though
