My Google Glass edition has arrived! (Pictures)

[ChrisM]

Hey,

First of all I would like to thank Keith Myers for the google glass invite! 

Yesterday I was sitting in my house all Cozy when suddenly boom! I got a google glass invite!



I got all excited and immediately paid the $1500 fee within minutes of receiving the invite. Once I ordered it says it will be sent out in 5-8 days. So I was like ok ill wait.. 

A couple hours later I got this:



My first thought was woot!!! 5-8 days turned into less then 24 hours.

At a little before noon this arrived:  

I opened it up to find this: 



Some attachable sun glasses: 

and then finally THE GOOGLE GLASS: 

If you have seen pictures of me before you know I wear prescription glasses. You may wonder how that works well with the help of a T4 Screw driver a zip tie and some electrical tape BOOM:



IT WORKS!

Wait, ha, you taped your prescription lenses over or under these?

Is Google Glass going to be your daily eye-wear now?

The google glass is over my perception glasses. The tape is in the back.

Is Google Glass going to be your daily eye-wear now?

Yes they are! I am going to see about getting contacts though. Something awesome that happened when I called my eye doctors office today to set up an appointment was originally my appointment was suppose to be next month, then I told her why before we hung up and she was like omg thats awesome and it suddenly became next week.

Someone just bought an overpriced toy.  

Congrats.   Now you are now a  F-list celebrity.

(PS: might want to edit your personal details/address from the shipping labels)

While eating, shopping, etc. people are going to look at your in strange ways.  When the locals get that you are actively interfaced and feeding the borgs, well, they won't be so nice.

Meh... Requires a smart phone to work....

 

[drmike]

<--- You like my smart glasses?

I like how they use "beautiful" women in the literature/materials.

Let me know when pretty women start sporting these.

 

[Magiobiwan]

I don't care if it would make me look funny, it's freaking GOOGLE GLASS! I could like... do stuff with it!

It's something I couldn't live without so I had to get it, I don't care about my address it appeared on everyone's invoices that were emailed to them when I owned FTN and it's brands also it's everywhere online. I didn't try to hide it like some companies.

As of now I am just messing around with them and seeing what I can do. The developer side of me is coming later.

They really don't effect it much once you trim them down.

[johnlth93]

Dude this is awesome.

Any comment for it so far?

 

[KMyers]

Hmm... Chris sporting an Android Device??? What sorcery is this?

Oh yeh... 

 

[ChrisM]

Dude this is awesome.

I love them, I can't wait to try them when I get contacts though, it works with prescription glasses but I wouldn't recommend using it with them. 

I can view vpsboard with them.

Hmm... Chris sporting an Android Device??? What sorcery is this?

Oh yeh... 

I am going to have to get an android phone to since I can't text on it using iOS.

Glass seems cool, and I am sure there are useful apps that will be developed for it and it will be useful to it's users. Personally I am not a fan of the wearable computing craze that is happening today. There has to be a point where you say to yourself,  "do I really need all these devices?" For me, I noticed that the tablets that everyone wanted and needed, aren't used as much as I had imagined(our family has two and doesn't use them anymore). I almost feel that these glass type devices will go down the same path, with everyone wanting them at first cause they were the "end all be all" device, and then slowly fading into the distance. Plus, I would feel like a creep to have a computer on my face...people are already worried if your taking pics or vids of them, so I would rather avoid that whole situation.
