Google Glass, "overuse causes headaches"

Said Chris Barrett, who filmed an arrest while wearing the glasses According to the developer, feelings of discomfort are due to the need to keep looking at the top right corner of the field of vision in order to read the news   He was the first to film an arrest with Google Glass and to praise the infinite possibilities for citizen journalism, but now he is pointing a finger, explaining that the augmented reality glasses from Mountain View are giving him headaches. He is Chris Barrett, one of the developers who tested Glass before it went on the market.   On the CNET blog Barrett explained that he got the first headache during the first week of using the device."I was wearing Glass every day, all day: at Starbucks, the supermarket, when driving and in the office. There was never a minute when I wasn't wearing them ", he said. "Impressed by the new technology, on the second day I began to look for everything on Google, showed them to my friends, took photos and recorded videos. After a few hours, I began to have a headache and I don't usually get them".   According to Barrett, the feelings of discomfort are due in particular to the need to keep looking at the top right corner of the field of vision in order to read the news. But it is the same discomfort you also feel when you sit for hours in front of a PC monitor. After his experience, the developer argues that Google should advise users that the prolonged use of the device could cause headaches.   Www.repubblica.it
