Hi Zack,
I’m a tech research analyst for Lockwell Investments, a mutual fund. (My Linkedin profile: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/vincent-tang-cfa/0/968/777). I came across your Skillshare class while researching Arduino and its applications.
Are you around for coffee? I’d love to get your thoughts on DIY electronics and the maker movement. Plus, it’d be nice to make your acquaintance!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Vin
Thanks for reaching out, Vin! I’ve sent you an email so we can talk privately.
Hello Zack,
I read the recent article about Glass and the prospect of a ban. One way to mitigate the challenge that you rightly identify is the use of HUD like functions. However, more utility and less bling is what is needed. Perhaps the HUD interface needs lockouts to prevent distractions like Superbowl highlight while in motion greater than a specific speed. Still, more important than lockouts, an app for optical enhancement of the field of view would be a deal breaker for a ban. Especially important in fog, rain or dark conditions, being able to get a better perspective of the road ahead would make Glass a safety device and not just a parallel system for existing and approved auto indicators.
