Google Glass

you have to have sex twice, in exactly the same way; the first time it's the woman wearing the google glass and the second time it's the guy, then you edit together and it looks like nobody's wearing it

the only utility I see for this device is amateur porn. So WHERE IS IT?!?!?!?

GoPro has this market cornered

Happy to live in a small town where I'm not likely to meet anyone wearing these in a good long while yet.

Are there any good articles about what in the above-linked article is referred to as "the anti-tech fervor" in SF? That's the side of these recent stories that has struck me as most interesting. I gather it's in large part about how lots of rich technology workers have made the city more expensive and difficult to lie in for everyone else. Would love to see read more about that and about what other sides there are to the hostility.

When can I buy one of these???

how to create your own glasshole-free zone

Well, sort of. The glasses have 12gb of free storage space, so people can still film you and upload it somewhere when they get home.

smart advertising; selling glass as a babelfish is the first argument i've heard in favor of getting one

i miss batshit glasshole stories, maybe they brought something useful to the rest of us after all

android wear is the thing now

So can anyone in SF tell me what actually is the deal with this kerfuffle over the Mission Park soccer field and some tech bros? (not actually a google glass issue but sounds like it might be a "File Under: Glasshole" kind of thing.

really the wrong thread but this assessment is pretty fair: http://missionlocal.org/2014/10/turf-wars-at-mission-soccer-field/

It sounds like ultimately this might really be the fault of a (maybe?) bad policy rather than the geeks, since they had in fact reserved the field through the city, but perhaps the introduction of a reservation system represents the encroachment of gentrification in an uncomfortable way.

perhaps

I only said perhaps because I don't know when the reservation system was actually enacted/whether it was the result of gentrification or whether it was more a policy that was in place but not previously used much.

Twitter drops Google Glass, app no longer available

I have now seen this thing exactly twice in the wild to date -- once on 3rd Ave in Manhattan, and then this past Sunday on some dude who wound up on the Jumbotron at the Nets game. I wonder if he had some kind of enhanced viewing experience going on.

I saw one of these this irl at a bar a while ago and was completely incensed the whole time

They are inherently stupid and douchey looking in a way that makes me feel IA.

i sit on a committee that approves (or not) proposals made by students and faculty for spending the student tech fee that amounts to gazillions of dollars a year. recently i got one from some dirtbag professor who wants the university (rather, the students) to buy him google glass--his rationale was that students would be able to text him questions (from inside the lecture hall) and they would appear on his glasses, thus facilitating ???????

I see these v occasionally around town - not v often, less so recently it seems like - and yeah it is p irritating

thus facilitating ???????

civilizational breakdown

Saw my first. In fact, seeing it now. He's sitting opposite me. Military green fleecejacket, combat pants, rucksack. Embarked at Blackheath, of course

ask him for directions

Really greasy hair, also typing to a phone, presumably playing COD with his ocular movements or something

okay glass, explode

ask to have your picture taken w him

He's now typing to TWO phones

And now got off the bus. I did not follow him home

yell "DEVO!" at him

Tell him "you're killing our city!"

Next time I shall ask him to order a pizza* without using his hands.

to the bus

lol

https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/11/20959066/apple-augmented-reality-ar-headset-glasses-rumors-reported-release-date

Apple plans to release its first augmented reality headset in 2022, followed by a smaller device — a pair of AR glasses — in 2023, according to a new report from The Information.

Apple’s entry into the world of augmented reality has long been rumored, with many in the tech world seeing AR and VR as the next big platforms after mobile. But an exact entry date has been unclear, with some analysts suggesting a 2020 launch. Citing internal presentations made at Apple’s headquarters, The Information pushes this rumored timeline back to 2022, presumably due to difficulties in developing the technology.

As well as the new timeline, The Information’s report offers new detail about Apple’s AR headset, codenamed N301. The device supposedly resembles a slimmer version of the Oculus Quest, a virtual reality headset released in May. It has AR and VR capabilities, uses external cameras to map the user’s surroundings (including the outlines of people, furniture, and rooms), and has a high-resolution display to show information and blend virtual objects with the real world. Employees were told that the company would be reaching out to developers to build software for the headset from 2021.

After Apple has built this larger headset it plans to release a smaller pair of AR glasses. Unlike the headset, these will be designed to be worn for longer periods of time, with The Information reporting that “current prototypes look like high-priced sunglasses with thick frames that house the battery and chips,” according to a person who has seen prototypes. Apple has also reportedly explored lenses that darken when in operation, to signal to observers that the user is otherwise occupied.

SORRY DUDES. I'M ...
