I wear an apple watch, it's not really a good information display vector. It's great at displaying certain things but definitely bad for textual information, in addition to needing to raise the arm to actually read it.

My imagined concept of glass display is to be able to read while I'm hiking/walking, a 80x24 that can be hacked would have been perfect. I don't need my hand to hold anything, and probably scroll using eyeball movements.



I don’t know I think it’s a great vector. Not if you’re trying to read a book, great if you’re trying to check a notification.

Even reading an email while walking with a visual overlay seems distracting or dangerous. I can’t imagine anything that requires strolling but isn’t better served with a phone display.


That seems pretty useless to me. I don't even like to listen to audio when I'm hiking/walking much less have text overlaid on my visual field.


Not all walking is as exciting as a hike in the nature, could be as bad as commute or as boring as a treadmill.
