The demo for “Blue” looks like something the average fan could get behind — if they can get over the part where you have to wear Google Glass.
There are good reasons to be skeptical of the incoming saturation of Google Glass as it pertains to sports and life in general. But watch the above video, for a forthcoming Google Glass app called Blue, and you get a sense of how sports and Glass can coexist in a way that a normal person could actually get behind (even if you will still kind of look like this guy).
Judging from online reaction, it taps directly into the sports fan's desire to know everything they can about what's happening around them. There's more statistical info to look at today than ever before, but that can take away from the game: take your eyes off the field to look at your iPhone or a pitch counter high above the third-base side or (at home) your laptop, and you can end up missing out more than you gain.
