[greenwizard88]

No way.

I would rather have a new gfx card.

2x 780 GTX Ti's in SLI for that much

[Hum]

I wonder if GG could eventually damage your vision ...

$1500 to look like a giant douche? No thanks. This is version 2.0 for those people who wear their ear pieces for their cell phones everywhere.

[TAZMINATOR]

just get a piece of glass and write Google on it ... problem solved and $1500 saved!

All I need is a Oculus Rift with USB camera taped on it and both devices hooked up to a laptop duct taped on my back. I also should look for a NES power glove to hook up to the laptop. badass.

If I had that kind of money laying around sure. But realistically, in a few months time, it will be significantly marked down I'm sure. I am very interested in the idea, but not completely enthralled with the concept quite yet.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Maybe if the price was to drop considerably, even then it might just be an impulse purchase, and will probably not get used beyond a couple of times, so I voted undecided..

For 1,500 dollars, I can get a Surface 2 Pro and a Lumia 620.

Much more satisfaction.

Biggest waste of money there is. 
You have to be a fool to buy one. Specially at $1500.

Do you realize how many times in history that was said.  I remember the same things said about cell phones and wireless headsets.

 

This tech is coming whether or not Google brings it to the forefront.

No.

 

I will wait for MS to release theirs, it will be better.

How exactly was it demonstrated that it could be useful ? It's not for instance like 3D  printing that already saved lives.

True.

 

Hopefully, this time next year we should all be able to buy a 3D printer.

 

They will be less than ?200.

 

Then maybe they will release a Photo-printer-copier-3D printer.

Really?

Also, will be great in retail as well.  Employees walking around doing inventory, helping customers...instant price check and detailed info about the product.  Police are also using it.

 

May applications for something like this.

Maybe. It can instantly damage your image.

[McKay]

The most I'd pay for this is ?500. 

[seafirex]

By the end of the year or spring next year they should be release for consumers, if the price is lower like 300$ to 450$ max then i will get them.

 

They are a very nice piece of gadget with good features. And even if someone steals them from me they can use them rofl..... they are bound to your gmail account and there is currently no way of seperate them from it except by the owner himself. :)

[bigmehdi]

Even if this gadget could be useful, I find this could also alienate the mass.

I'm already exasperated with people having constantly their eyes on their smartphone,

and now  with  this gadget always stuck on the eye , that's just too much.

The later this tech would be "popularized" , the better for me.
