We are working on Glass applications for low vision users, you can see our previous research in this area at http://openglass.us , specifically http://hci.cs.rochester.edu/pubs/pdfs/vizwiz.pdf . The terms of the explorer devices limit sharing with others, etc. but we're eager to test them out with users as much as we are able to.
Thanks for posting this! I skimmed through the paper and it seems like this is geared towards users who are completely blind (or at least those with poorer visual acuity than myself). Still, fascinating work. Best of luck to you and your team--this has a lot of potential to help people.
