Google should fucking stick to their search engine, which is NOT nearly effective as it once was. Google has their hands up everyones elses ass. They have no focus and dozens of failures in the past 5 years, including their beloved search engine becoming "one big white pages" of advertising masked as search results.
- You should get a job at Google so you can help them fix all their problems.nb

It's just the next step in the continuing inevitable shrinking away of the bulky technology leaving just the display/interaction part, and then that shrinks away too until you finally get to the most natural way of overlaying information in your world view that you can imagine:
mainframe > desktop computer > laptop > handheld screens > data glasses > data contact lenses / tiny device > 'bluetooth to brain'

It's the next logical step. Integrating computers directly into people's vision. The next step after that: brain integration. You can see where this is heading..

I don't think this will catch on. Too confusing to have a display overlaid over the real word, especially in a busy city. Those jawbone bluetooth headsets never really caught on. People who wear them look like twats. Same will be true for these glasses I think.
Carrying a beautifully designed iphone is one thing. But wearing some nasty looking glasses is one step too far, too much of a barrier to jumping on the band wagon.
- True about iphone/concealable gadgets. It's not a permanent status display/embarrassmen...pig

They won't always look nasty.. when they are done right they will just look like glasses.
When you think about SatNav, it would be way safer to have the path you need to drive on marked directly in your view ahead (like 'drive through the hoops'), rather than having to look at a small screen as we do now.
- having a display overlaid over the windscreen is the worst idea in the world for safety!BaskerviIle

- Aren't street signs kind of 'overlaid' any way?Chimp
- We could get rid of all the street signs (and traffic lights), if everyone has augmented reality.ribit
