Would glass work for someone with one eye?

[Dixi1801]

Sorry if this seems a stupid question, but as the title says, I'm curious as to whether I could use Google glass as I only have sight in one of my eyes (my right eye)

Thanks in advanced to anyone replying, and I hope you're all enjoying your glass

Yes. It's not stereo; the little prism display is only over the right eye.

Thanks very much! I wasn't sure on how much of the lens it took up, so I was wondering about whether I'd be able to see anything other than the display.

Thanks again!

of course ,only right side has a very little display now.

The prism is small and positioned to be on the periphery of your vision, so it doesn't block much at all.

If you're right-eyed, you seem to be in luck, because all the pictures of Glass I've seen are positioned on the right.
See this picture, only that small square is actual 'display', everything else is more or less a frame.

Maybe they're going to make left ones too, who knows.

Google has said that it is designed to display right at the edge of your vision so as to not block normal sight, but they are assuming stereoscopic vision. Looking at the pictures again, like the one above, I am a little concerned that Glass might block, or at least obscure, a good chunk of vital vision.

That's what I was worried about, I don't wanna splash out and get glass and then walk into the path of a bus or something lol.

I may message Google and see what they say!
Will post a reply here should I get one

There doesn't appear to be a way to message Google with my question as I don't have glass.
I'll just have to wait and see

I'm in the same boat except I'm the unlucky one to only have sight in my left eye...

I'm really interested in Google glass but I'm guessing I'm probably going to be SOL... Hopefully they bring out a version for the left side...

Same here... I'm going to have to wait for the left eye version to come out the unit is designed asymmetrically, so it can't just be flipped over to the other side.
