Why
A quick idea to revisit, not yet expanded.
How it works
Google Glass is expected to land as a "use only when needed" form factor rather than always-on wear; separately, try out Stitch.

Where it lands in Jayverse
- Game: if Jayverse ever explores a wearable/AR view onto the Unity street, plan a "use only when needed" glanceable UI, not always-on wear. The same form-factor bet this note makes for Glass.
- Wallet/Rabbit portal: try Stitch to prototype a UI screen before hand-building it. A fast layout check on a wallet or persona screen is cheaper than building it directly.
