Over the past two weeks, developers have been receiving
their pair of Google Glass after nearly a year of wanting. One of the
most vocal supporters of Glass has been Robert Scoble. Glancing at
Robert’s Google+ profile, there is no shortage of posts with the hashtag
#throughglass. After using Google Glass for two weeks, he posted a
review sharing his thoughts.
Robert claims that Glass is significant, and even went so
far to say “I will never live a day of my life from now on without it
(or a competitor).” After giving several speeches, and letting hundreds
of people try Google Glass, responses were pretty consistent. “Wow”,
“amazing”, or “stunning” were several words that came to mind. As far as
responding to your voice, accuracy is very good, and Robert says “It’s
the first product that literally everyone could use with voice”.
The camera is not good in low-light situations, but you can
snap photos or start recording video almost instantly. This is
particularly good for special moments that last just a matter of
seconds. With early adopters having to shell out $1500, one of the
biggest questions has been how much will Google Glass cost once available to consumers. After
polling several audiences, the $200 to $300 range seemed to be the
sweet spot, with some saying they’d buy if it cost around $500.
In recent months, the next-generation eyewear has already been banned from various establishments,
citing privacy concerns. According to Robert, those concerns “just
didn’t show up”. There was only one experience where a person did not
want to speak with him while wearing Google Glass. For some, a camera
pointing at them is just a little nerve racking, even if not on.
However, the bulk of these experiences were gathered at
technology conferences. Other situations involving less tech savvy
friends, and individuals, would be a better gauge of average people’s
reactions. Currently, the biggest hurdle that Google currently faces is
the price point. That, and getting over the stigma of having a computer
with a camera, attached to your face. To that point, even Google’s own
Eric Schmidt admits that talking to Google Glass can be weird.
