This was a pretty solid history write-up for Glass. I still remember when it debuted and I got a test pair to wear for a while as part of the pilot program.<p>I honestly think we're going to see Augmented Reality (AR) devices go through the same steps and backlash that Google Glass received until it finds the right place/industry to be used. Right now that's looking like education and design, but I could be wrong. Glass looks like it's going to own the medical field if the revival of the product is handled correctly.
Hardly unexpected.<p>This was what the team was initially envisioning while developing, until Brin walked in and decided that if MSM wanted to liken him to Tony Stark he would give them a Tony Stark moment.<p>This the whole massive and flashy intro of a piece of tech that was never meant for joe on the street usage.
The current resolution of Glass is like 640x360 correct? When they hit around 3840×2160 I would be able to use them as a primary display. That would have some interesting possibilities.
