Streaming + Google glass by Artslave
So, everyone knows i stream most of my work. One of the biggest issues I have is I can't have a camera mounted on my head so people can see WHAT I'm doing, its always from the side or above, and neither afford decent views.
Well, I got a google glass invitation in the mail today.
The only downside of glass, is the pricetag. $1500 is a lot to come up with.
So, here's my question. Would you, as a stream attendee, like me to use google glass? Or is my current webcam setup fine? Is it something you'd chip in a few bucks for if I did opt to move to glass? Obviously the rub here is we can't test it out ahead of time, so I wanted to ask your opinions.

I'm not a particularly tech-savvy person(A rarity int he furry community, I know!) Do you have any potential cameras I should look at? The only head mounted webcams I'ev found involve duct tape XD

I wouldn't spend that much, a cheap tripod and a decent camera should do and you'd save $1300 over something like that.

unless you can forsee other uses for the google glass to make it cost effective, i recommend evaluating your current or a new camera for potential in bolting it to a headband, or better yet, a headset/headphones!

My question would be what other uses would you have for a google glass. Only having it for a webcam would be very limited. That said, I'm a little jealous. ;)

I think a midrange head-mounted webcam would be the most practical option. Not as fancy, but for most of the stuff you're doing, you probably won't need a full HUD. (Sadly a high-res lookthrough display like the Moverio lacks a camera.)
