Title: Through The Looking Glass: What You'll See Through Google's Lens
Post by: TechCrunch on May 11, 2013, 10:31 PM
 I've spent a little over three weeks with Google Glass, and I've noted that the utility aspect of the device is strong, but the fun isn't there yet. It feels a lot like the original iPhone did (http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/03/weve-heard-a-similar-reaction-to-google-glass-somewhere-before/), before it had the App Store.

In this video, we discuss some of the quick assumptions about Glass, warranted or otherwise, and give you a look through the eyes of the device in action. Stepping outside, pulling up an address, replying to an email and listening to the latest NYTimes headlines (http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/25/the-new-york-times-releases-its-headline-reading-google-glass-app/) is a pretty seamless experience. Google calls the technology "calm," since it doesn't require you to pull a device out of your pocket, unlock a screen or tap any buttons.

The power of Glass will be unleashed once developers start building apps that consumers will love. Until then, have a look at some of the things I've been doing since I got the device. For those following along, I hope to have my recipe app available soon. It's been a fun learning experience for me.
