Google is accepting proposals for the privilege to buy a Glass from the first batch (for $1500).

If you get some good soaring footage with the Glass, it might be included in a compilation video promoted by Google (and viewed by millions). It's not in my budget and my life/flights are pretty boring, but I thought somebody on RAS might be interested (either an individual or a syndicate).



Secondly, Google is making Glass available to "App Developers" as well, so maybe someone might be interested in developing a "Glass Soaring App"... for example link the heads up display with flight instruments via Bluetooth.. Use Glass as a Flarm display?

Google Glass is more of a camcorder/phone than a display. There are many other see-through "Head Mounted Display's" on the market which are just computer monitors. These seem more useful in a cockpit than Google's gizmo.
