The reporter writes he can see the glasses' long-term potential. The voice-activated commands work well, it's very easy to snap pictures of video and the glasses fit well. However, Ante also writes that the HUB was a little disorienting, and that he kept closing his left eye to make it work.

Mr. Brin said his favorite feature is the time-lapse capability that lets him snap photos of his kids every 10 seconds when he is playing with them. "I never think about taking out my phone," he said. "That would really be disruptive to my play time."
