I was one of the first adopters, I remember taking them into the bar next door to the google studio and people were all interested in talking about them. But one girl was like "ya know though just kinda looks douchey once you have them on"

So I dunno what it was but even back then in the first early days that was the opinion.

Absolutely. My two interactions with Glass was (1) seeing a dude wearing it at a friend’s wedding. At first I was like “whoa, cool!” Then I realized he just looked kind of douchey for some reason. This could’ve been fixed with better hardware design.

(2) A worker had them and I got to try it on. Again, “whoa, cool!” until ultimately I realized how there wasn’t really anything it was adding. This could’ve been fixed with a more robust app infrastructure.
