From what i read so far from their website, there are fundamental flaws in Google’s approach to this technology. They are not defining any core experiences at all but leaving them open.. eg.1) Skip song by swiping sleeve.. 2) take picture by tapping shoulder strap.. and a ton of other touches/swipes etc to do a ton of other things..so how would a user remember what to do when they want to skip a song ? Should i tap my shoulder or touch my collar or sleeves? Which sleeve ? This will create immense confusion.. it becomes unnatural.. people will get frustrated and would simply go back to their phone to operate individual apps. When users (lets say toddlers) operate a device like iphone , they touch , drag , tap etc and respond accordingly.. and try to do similar stuff on an android device too.. if such gestures mean different things on different phones it will get frustrating..
