This is precisely the application I first imagined when I saw it. Being able
to pull up exploded views of an assembly, having reference information for
something you've got both hands inside, etc. is invaluable.

I can't count the number of times I've had to extract both my arms from inside
a machine (in doing so losing the information of where precisely i'm holding
stuff and the bearings that provides you), wipe off all the grease, dust,
grime, etc., thumb through a pile of papers that still get dirty and then
mentally translate a 2D drawing to what I'm working on, only to then lose my
place and have to work it all out again. Having something voice controlled and
_right there_ in front of my eyes would be invaluable.

Industry really is the perfect environment for this. Safety issues
notwithstanding (which you can work through), it's really the best application
of this technology and you can quickly quantify a RoI from its implementation.

Sounds like they've found a great enterprise usecase, and I hope they can keep
improving the device to bring it to consumers once again.

I was able to snag a Glass for a good price when they killed support (before
selling it off again after a couple months). I enjoyed using it, and being on
a college campus at the time reduced some of the social awkwardness. I could
push notifications to my face with IFTTT and the voice recognition worked
reasonably well. Ironically, I found the most useful feature to be the camera.
It's liberating to be able to wink and get a snapshot of whatever is in your
field of view, whether it's some info you want to remember or a small moment
you want to share. I'm on vacation now and find myself fumbling with my phone
to take snaps of interesting things I want to share way too often.
