Baby thinks 'oh shit mommy is a cyborg'.

lol I thought she said it weighs less than your nose.

These will be well good for demos.

Communicate with images = porn.

Knee porn is the next big thing.

Get on with it! So bloody boring.

Who chooses these speakers? Steve Gerrard has more charisma than this woman.

Its incredible to think that within a few years I'll be able to share my toenail clipping activities on Google double plus good.

I like Glass a lot, but I think the trick will be to create glasses that don't make you look like a twat when you wear them.

i.e. integrate them into regular frames and make the camera element invisible.

Cheers.

Still half baked, then. Not shipping today.

They should have got in there back when being a pirate was cool.

At the moment I expect one reason they are prototypes is that the battery life probably sucks.

Not sure about Glass but evidently this is the future.

I was hoping for some sort of screen built into the lens so you can overlay graphics and info on your real world view.

Err isn't that half the point of the device? You look up into the clear bit, but they haven't thought of a good way to demo it yet.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Lots of whooping at this event isn't there?

 

[maldwyn]

Hope someone takes their very own electromagnetic hand-grenade to tonight's party.

You get a free nexus! You get a free nexus!

 

[elbows]

And if you look under your seats ...

Not far from the truth as it turns out!

 

[skyscraper101]

I knew I should've gone.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Someone's going to start shouting 'USA USA USA' any moment now I swear!

Scratch that, looking at the video showing more skydiving google glass it looks like there are a bunch of wires connecting it to other hardware at the moment.

Thoughts (although I forgot this was happening so missed the tablet and box thing):

Google really need to work on their public speaking skills, I thought I was going to scream watching that girl talk about Glass.

The events page looks quite nice, but frankly it doesn't set my world on fire. And who goes to a party to take pictures and then browse those pictures instantly while still at the event? I suppose maybe the live feed is useful for somebody who couldn't make it for one reason or another, but it still strikes me as a little bizarre

Glass - I don't know, again, I wasn't so fussed. I mean it looks like quite fun, but what amazing value it has? I'm not so sure really. Plus you look a right moron wearing them.

Twitter doesn't seem to be that impressed, only two trends on these announcements...
