If you’re Katy Perry, you’ll look dumb wearing the Google Glasses—at least in their current prototype form. And unfortunately, being a Google billionaire won’t make it any easier to pull off the look, either. Larry. Larry…
TechCrunch was tipped off by someone in Page’s London audience, where he strutted around stage with the futuristic specs on. They’re still pretty far from flattering. Given that they won’t have the superpowers we saw in the first promotional video, Google is going to have to make these things a hell of a lot more visually palatable if they’re going to be anything more than a CEO toy. Remember: real people use real things, and real people don’t have billionaire’s indifference. [TechCruch]
NOT PROMO VIDEO – concept. there’s a BIG difference.
yes, toys firmly outside of the pram, and there they shall stay. :<
I don’t know if it’s the low quality image but they don’t look that bad tbh. I’d love to them them built into a pair of thicker framed glasses.
In the future you wont need glasses, just a chip in the head.
Like Futurama’s Eye-Phone.
I can imagine a world where everyone wears these, they look pretty cool as is.
Of course, I may be biased due to my love of that old TV show, The Girl From Tomorrow.
look like mr space
Did we really need another article from Mr Biddle where he tells us he thinks the Google Glass prototype doesn’t look good? He must have posted this opinion half a dozen times now and this article doesn’t add anything new ( like what Larry Page was doing, or if he said/demonstrated anything about the prototype). Waste of space.
agreed, stop ‘hating’ concept stuff just for the sake of it.
I agree!
‘Google Glasses Still Make You Look Nerdy’
This is a Nerd site and that picture is one of the king nerds.
We should be championing the google glasses
They look better than my Specsavers pair that I’m wearing now. I wonder if there’ll be a prescription version…
Yep, it’s also possible that it may just clip on to existing glasses, so you don’t need to get a new pair. Nothing is certain yet as it’s still in development
Google Glasses Still Make You Look Nerdy
..AND?
are we not all nerds already?
I’m not
well you will be when you wear these Goggles
I wish they looked like swimming goggles, that would be pretty geeky.
“No Biddle” tag please.
The same could be said for people using tablets a couple years ago, and mobile phones many years ago, and look where they are now!
