There&#8217;s talk it&#8217;s coming (but not when) and that there are unique capabilities (but most details are under wraps). Google Glass is a bit of an enigma, and I have remained largely uninterested in the project. That changed this morning.<\/p>\n<p>Google makes me want a product I had no idea I was even interested in &#8212; I am pretty sure that&#8217;s the intention. In fact, Google had me drooling in only two minutes and sixteen seconds &#8212; talk about a good sales pitch. And the video did not even require many words to accomplish its task.<\/p>\n<p>The video Google posted this morning depicts the world as seen through Glass, and it is a glorious place. Simple commands beginning with &#8220;Glass&#8221; result in photos, videos and information appearing right before your eyes.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, my son and I love to mountain bike. We race down single-track trails at top speed looking for the toughest obstacles, the biggest logs to hop and the best jumps. We always talk about getting a GoPro camera to capture these memories &#8212; or at least as evidence to next of kin about what transpired in our final moments.<\/p>\n<p>That is, of course, a simple use for a product that will likely cost much more than a handlebar and helmet camera. But Glass will also provide much wider functionality. It will not be a product for a few extreme sports nuts, but sell to a wider audience. And, if Google supports this as the company does Android, then Glass will evolve even more than what you can get a glimpse of in this video.<\/p>\n<p>The day is certainly drawing near &#8212; Google is <a href=\"http:\/\/betanews.com\/2013\/02\/20\/win-a-chance-to-buy-a-pair-of-google-glass-specs\/\" >taking beta testers<\/a>, though it will cost you to become one. Of course,\u00a0Glass could be the new Nexus Q, but I have hopes for more.
