I had to Google 'Human CentiPad' and now I'm sorry I did.

Don't watch it....

glasses would (could?) be cool companions for drawing apps..
a lot of the info panels etc could be shown there instead of taking up screen space and whatnot.

Like the Human CentiPad?

i saw the actual movie in a very weird way.. my brother was watching it with headphones and i was busy doing some work stuff but the movie was visible..
very strange to say the least..

Google are great. They should buy SU

re: that video..

hmm.. not sure if they've really solved the maps problem yet (the problem of looking at your phone maps while driving.. it's sketchy)

at around 1:04 (riding bike up 6th ave), you still find yourself moving your eyes off the traffic in onto something different..
seems like the map should somehow overlay itself onto exactly what you're looking at so there's no need to look away..

maybe by gen3 or so..

i actually wish they had a use for it or a desire to see it progress as a general purpose modeling application.

their previous use for the app wasn't a rock solid foundation to begin with..

but if they really wanted to googlize it and throw in their flair etc.. it'd probably be super sweet right now.

Imagine you had two glasses (right and left, and at the same side of the field of view).
That would mean stereo images and 3d models.
SketchUp should by Google Glass.
