		What exactly is the Google glass for?

		I was fortunate enough to borrow a friend's google glass for a month. After the initial day of wear, I haven't touched it since (which is why my friend was okay with me borrowing it.) What are you using yours for?

I use it as a heads-up display when I go on spacewalks and during neurosurgery.

I show it to potential hires and hope they're impressed.

I think most of us are in the 'discovery' process. Personally I like the navigation app. It feels more natural than looking on your phone.
