Your frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...
Discussion
Both are dev kits. Not really intended for public use rather for developing functionality and apps for each.
A few Glass's as we want to play with interpersonal apps and as for the Oculus DK2's ... we've got something like 4 currently for similar reasons, a few awesome personal and professional projects in the works.
Initial Verdict.
Glass : Awesome, but needs a killer app. Nav (walking and driving) is awesome when combined with head tracking.
DK2 : Compared to the DK1 it's light years ahead, when combined with our apps and the head tracking camera removes one of the final barriers to proper immersion. In short we're 75% of the way to a consumer product now.

I've just reserved a Canon EOS M. Not in itself frivolous apart from me already owning:
Canon 5D Mk3
Canon 1Ds Mk2
Canon 450D
Mamiya 645 AFDII
Leaf Aptus medium format digital back
Linhof Technikardan
Leica D Lux 4
A couple of other compacts
It is cute though, and I'll get an adaptor to use my existing Canon lenses with it, it's small so will be ideal for travelling light and slipping into my landscape bag in case I need a backup camera and am travelling light.

I really want something more compact than my 5D for when I'm roaming around. If I could justify it, I'd have done the same. an EOS M with a nifty fifty 1.4 would be so fun.Canon 5D Mk3
