oh wow, are any of these supposed to be profitable business? I see very little real pain being solved by most of these ideas. Most seem to be social media things, productivity clones or "The AirBnB of [whatever]".
http://www.oyoglasses.com/ seems like the best of the bunch. At least there's an un-served need, a fashionable elite with money and an emerging technology (3D printers).
I hope it's just that all the good business haven't announced themselves.
I'm also intrigued by these web app + product combos - this would have been a perfect idea for Kickstarter as well, just because they could have sold some of their glasses upfront.
On the flip side, whenever you have physical production and products, you also have a lot more points to control in the customer experience to maintain a quality experience for your clients. I think this is a good idea, but could also go drastically wrong if they don't get the right resin, plastics durability, etc.
Liked this bit from the oyoglasses site: "Take two photos of yourself. In one photo, just smile. In the second photo hold a quarter to your forehead. It will look silly, but this will provide a sense of scale that will allow our software to accurately measure your face."
