Google happened to it. Right when some of us started doing practical things with it. Still haven’t forgiven them for that.
I was writing code for Google Glass that implemented facial recognition. A friend of mine suffered a TBI in an automobile wreck and developed partial facial prosopagnosia as a result.

Not too long after I filed the developer applications and outlined my project, the Glass project flatlined.
