I wasn't aware that google glass had an application open to get a pair, but I completely missed it (my own fault, I know).<p>I'd be very, very excited to get my hands on a unit to test. I'm a developer, but also have limited vision (20/200 at best, worse in certain conditions) and have a lot of trouble with anything more than a few feet away. I am insanely curious to put a pair of these on and see how readable the screen is. Not sure how hopeful I should be about them actually working for my condition. If there's no return policy, I can just eat the cost.<p>I've coded a few small scripts before that help me with my day-to-day work, but I feel like there might be a lot of potential in this device if the screen works for me. I can think of a half dozen use cases for these things that would make my life much easier.<p>Honestly not even sure if this post is appropriate. I fear it's selfish to even ask, I just have a feeling it may be a great piece of assistive technology. An email address is in my profile if anyone knows anyone who may be able to help.
We are working on Glass applications for low vision users, you can see our previous research in this area at <a href="http://openglass.us" rel="nofollow">http://openglass.us</a> , specifically <a href="http://hci.cs.rochester.edu/pubs/pdfs/vizwiz.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://hci.cs.rochester.edu/pubs/pdfs/vizwiz.pdf</a> . The terms of the explorer devices limit sharing with others, etc. but we're eager to test them out with users as much as we are able to.
