I agree, the first version is horrible and probably won't allow much room for growth, as far as a hacking is concerned.

My main reason for wanting to do this is to just see what the possibilities are. I know glass 1.0 is rough right now, but the possibilities with a wearable camera that records quality footage could be a great tool for filmmakers. Imagine the behind the scenes you could get if a director wore a set of glass while shooting a major motion picture? An athlete running the iron man or a hiker exploring the wilderness could be unreal.

These things are going to be huge within the next decade or two (imo).

The way google has it now is that it's more of a social media device (which turns people away from it). A pair of glass that completely ignored that aspect and focused solely on the camera could be pretty awesome.

Really? Similar to the glass build (wearable eye frames)? I did some gahoogling and didn't come up with anything except some startup that looked like it was going nowhere.

10-4 on the social devices.
