It's interesting how polarizing Google Glass can be (and I am not referring to a sunglass mounted version, although that will likely come in the future). Some folks are thrilled by all the possibilities presented by the device, while some are appalled at the concept and think it will flop. Of course, there are the folks in the middle who will happily sit on the fence until all of this actually shakes out with the retail launch of the device. In the mean-time, a clever videographer at Playground Labs decided to create a small movie showcasing a ton of creative and practical uses for the device, just to show the possibilities for the future.

Will this video get some of the folks in the middle to jump off the fence, or even sway some who think it will flop? Share your thoughts.

The expectation is that glass works flawlessly every time. How annoying would it be though to have everyone jabbering about nonsense constantly. Just from that video glass looks like a huge distraction. It looks cool and people are all for it, but I think its going to be a product that flops. Hell, we can't even get NFC checkout in every store let alone Google Wallet on every phone.

The idea is cool, I just can't picture it working that well either. Likewise, I can't stand when people are walking around the store talking louder then normal into their bluetooth mic wearing an earpiece.
