As one of the folks who was able to try these on (thanks Morgan), I can say that the initial impression is speechlessness.

It’s a very foreign feeling to have information at your fingertips, but not having anything in your hands. There’s a moment of pause as you figure out what to do with them.

Great post Marcin, I love these types of personal essays. Lots of insight delivered in a super a relatable way. Hope to see more like this in the future! I’m extremely excited about the future of wearable tech and I can’t wait to get my hands on my own pair of Google Glass.

Thanks!I'm excited about wearable tech as well. Currently crossing fingers hard for iWatch ;)

So the design principles for Glass are the same as for every other piece of software. Good to know.

>>"Surveys show that 35% of consumers aren’t interested in wearable computers at all and another 35% think that Glass is a useless device. Sad numbers.""

I wonder what the surveys said about mobile phones in the mid 1990s. Probably similar - I remember thinking that I wouldn't need a mobile phone back then.

Looking at the examples, I cannot see why a Glass would be useful for me. I remember ingredients for something I want to cook. I can remember where I parked my car. I have a paper map for driving directions to unfamiliar places.

However, a Glass would be great when traveling/visiting a land which language I don't speak, for example Japan. The Glass could automatically translate signs for me and make me feel less 'lost'.

Feeling lost is a feature to me-- having the whole world speak one language would seem awfully boring to me.

If you're travelling for fun, yes - but if you're on business travel and need to be on time, then feeling lost is the last thing you would want.

I did not feel the need for a smartphone, now I can't live without one. Maybe this is symptomatic of technology disruption, or just that I do not have the "early adopter" spirit. Wait and see.

I'm surprised that voice is not mentioned once in this article. As another commenter said, these guidelines could be valid for any device and platform, they have nothing specific to Google Glass.

In my opinion, any experience involving any swipe/touch on Glass is a terrible experience. Period.
