First arrest ever filmed on Google Glass

In regards to the posters above talking about multiple-in-one devices, that is the nature of innovation.

That's the whole idea of "technological convergence", which is to say take all of the tech gadgets today and combine them into one uber-device. We have some amazing tech out there that when combined can produce amazing results.

For example if you're at your doctor's office and there is the equivalent of a google glass that can take one look at a wound and bring up a list of what it could be, you would be able to dramatically bring down treatment time, especially when a device like this was available to the public. Say for example someone has a compound fracture and you don't know what to do - a device like this would be instantly bringing up a video of what to do.

The tech is there, it's the application of the tech that's lacking right now, and patents holding back the true end goal which is the technological singularity.

Glass itself isn't changing shit, it's still too ugly and clumsy and 'in the way' to be adopted en masse. Once you have a set that is indistinguishable from normal glasses or even can be integrated into contacts, then you're talking.

The other designer here got Glass on Friday and brought it in. I played with it for a little bit when I came in this morning and my general impression is that it's really cool, but feels like a novelty at the moment. The technology and UI seem to be executed nicely, and it seems to be built well, but there's not a whole lot that I'd consider "useful" right now. I think the big draw (and the reason why my company is footing the bill for this one) is the developer API. We offer a crime prediction and analysis software package, and we're looking to do some R&D to see if we could integrate Glass in interesting ways.

So your google glass app identifies bad guys then?

I live in Wildwood! This is why I do not go on that boardwalk at night anymore. It's filled with thugs and degenerates. In fact, I never want to go back to that area. I'm glad that I'm in Asia! =)

I cannot wait to see the first person who mouths off to a cop over getting pulled over and gets hit with a taser.
