Google Glass

People say that New York City you can either love or hate, noting in between. From buzzing around Google Glass I can say the same about this gadget. Even though I find myself on the side of "hate", as I see it as a major breakthrough into my privacy, from QetriX's point of view it's a major opportunity. It's exactly what I'm focusing to in this project - tiny pieces of important/interesting information on the go.

I can tell apart those opposing feelings easily, because my personal concern is about the built-in camera, whereas the opportunity is spurting from the head-mounted (or "heads up") display.

The true resolution of the display remains unknown, but for the apps Google recommends 640×360. There are also quite strict guidelines for creating apps, also made by Google, which may keep the environment homogeneous.

I'm working on use cases for small resolutions, because Glass is not the only such device. We're more hearing about various wearable devices these days, like bracelets or watches (Pebble).
