Is it just me or is anyone else bothered by the uneven design where one side has the display and the other side does not.

My mind wants the sides to be the same, they should put a fake one on the other side.

I don't care about the aesthetics but I do wonder about the weight distribution. It looks fairly balanced front to back but all of the gear is on the right side.

I think having a fake display would be taking it too far. However, having a frame that puts an extra battery and/or the 3G chip & antenna over on the other side would make it nicely less visually lop-sided and have functional benefits.

I think the asymmetric design is very interesting and kind of cool looking. But I agree that it also draws your attention to it. With something like an earring or patch of color on your clothing, that's normal enough not to be jarring, but with this...I think it totally emphasizes how new and strange it is.

I actually think they should have it mounted on just one side without the rest of the frame. If they can get it stable enough to hang off the side of your head without the ugly looking metal frame extending across the top, I would definitely wear it.

that would be a really stupid idea honestly. No offence.

Not really. Having all that gear on just one side looks kinda cyborg-y. Symmetric is more natural.

Also, think of the possibilities for crazy 3D stuff if you have displays on both eyes.

why would that be a stupid idea?
