For those of you who have worked with Google Glass, is the "corner of the eye" design better than if the display were projected in some way onto the lens of the glasses?

Not tried the projected on to glasses way; but the corner of the eye works great - not super distracting but also easy to view.

Yeah I agree, it's kind hard to explain - you can sort of ignore the display unless you look at it, but when you do look at it, it's big enough to see what you want to see.

I have not had the opportunity to work with Google Glass - but I recall finding this article one of the best one on the subject the first time around (the last third or so deal with design issues like focal plane, hud etc) :

Ed: as far as I can tell Google glass 2 fixes none of these, while ms holo lens appear to be more in line with many of the points made.
