They have a front facing camera with flash to gather information and potentially aid augmented reality apps. This camera is said to be 'extremely small' and it's likely will only have a few megapixels.

Great! I can't wait for superimposed ads based on what I'm looking at!
- And a built in snoop recording how long you look at real world ads!i_monk
- Cool. I'll help make them. Lots of things are boring to look at, like plain stuff, or walls on trains and that. Jazz it up with savings.mikotondria3

A little company in the Seattle area that invented HUD for fighter jets has been working on HUD glasses for a few years. They use PicoP technology (instead of LED); three tiny lasers fire at an oscillating mirror that then paints an image onto any surface. Incredible stuff. http://www.microvision.com/

Imagine these new viewing experiences
• Giving a speech while information is streamed to your eyeglasses in real time
• Presenting to a crowd with your notes secretly stowed away in your eye glasses
• Extending your everyday computing environment to include your eyewear display
• Walking down the street, seeing your favorite friends show up "on screen" 2 blocks and 1 cafe away
• Receiving turn by turn directions as you walk toward your destination
• Reviewing messages while on the go
• Creating your personal big screen experience from mobile TV and video (occluded or escape mode)
• Seeing building schematics and locations of others (especially useful for security or firefighters)
• Viewing virtual recipes while cooking without losing your rhythm

Then again you have things that are so over the top like this:
No one really needs to sit in front of a computer while riding, it's a bit upsetting that they call this "the missing thing in snowboarding".
I guess if you are training for speed downhill you could see some benefits, now if only these didn't fog...
