Google, Andreessen Horowitz & Kleiner Perkins Form "Glass Collective" - Liz Gannes - News - AllThingsD

Goals of those who seek to live in Glass houses
"So what applications are the Glass Collective VCs excited to invest in?
  • Andreessen said he’d like to see apps for paramedics, and a live zombie game.
  • Google co-founder Sergey Brin said he’d like to use Glass as a viewfinder for his fancy SLR camera, and to stream GoPro action-sports cameras.
  • Maris said he’d like scientists in wet labs to be able to conduct hands-free experiments with Glass, and for paralyzed people to be able to more easily text. He also said he enjoyed an early timelapse app that people at Google built.
  • Doerr said developers should read David Gelernter’s “Mirror Worlds” to find inspiration, and that he wanted to see Glass used in healthcare and education.
  • Asked whether the Glass Collective would be willing to invest in facial recognition applications for Glass, given the privacy issues, Maris didn’t say no."
