Google was WAY to early and severely limited in what it could do. A tiny display in the corner of the eye is just not getting anyone excited. And because it was Google who made it, it was also creepy.
Of course you won’t be running around the city with a Vision in the near future like Casey. The long term plan is to shrink it down to just regular glasses (or even implants) but you need to have an actual product first which people can use at home or at work now and in which they can see even more potential. The ecosystem and OS is already good. It’s easy to see how this can work.
I wanted the Google Glass! It never actually became available though. Google hadn't built their creepy, evil, all-seeing spy reputation yet when the Glass was announced.
Arguably I'd say this is creepier. Because it does absolutely everything Google glass did but more. And the only way right now that you know someone is looking directly at you is when those creepy eyes show up. So someone can be recording you and then you get to look at them looking at you with just these uncanny creepy eyes.
I mean you're optimistic about Apple shrinking it down all the way to an implant but you're ignoring that Google could have built it up made it bigger.
I truly don't see this working long term. I only see the utmost Apple enthusiast getting it and then everyone waiting around for it to do something. I just don't see people poking around on an OS that's invisible to everyone else looking like they're drugged up out of their gourds hallucinating who knows what.
