I've had Glass for little over 6 months. My original intention was to see
how they could be used in cultural venues but no one has taken me up on the
offer to use them. Excuses have been mainly that Glass is stupid and/or
going to fail, etc. Sad that such strong opinions were formulated before
anyone really had a go with them.
I've done a few research workshops where I gave the Glass to people and
listened to how they want to use them. The bottom line was many found a
reason to think about getting them (once, of course, the price came down).
Most of the really good ideas related to health/accessibility so not
really cultural specific. However, it does indicate that the general
public will be more receptive to wearable tech in the near future.
Personally, I'm not quite sure what or where museums can use Glass.
Wearable tech is suppose to be innovative and pushing data that can be
found on your website onto your eye is not innovative. The challenge is to
stop looking at what we already have available and look at what is missing
- then creating a unique response to that need.
Not sure museums are up for the challenge as many are still concentrating
on apps. My offer for museums / developers to use my Glass still stands
though. :-)
