Predicting 10 years from now... much of one\'s daily life will be recorded using glasses such as these. When you can now put 128 gig on a sandisk... whats to prevent you from just hitting record and keeping it there. Heck.... put facial recognition on the glasses and you\'ll never forget a name or the details of that person again.

I just hope Oakley are not involved in the manufacture of the Google Glasses. Oakley\'s quality has been slipping.

WHY promote your article with a sexy looking pair of HUD glasses when all we get is this UGLY looking GENERIC piece of crap?

This should do wonders for the situational awareness of drivers- imagine trying to navigate web pages while driving. Where I live, a few people a month are killed walking in front of light rail trains while wearing iPod earbuds. I don\'t think these glasses are going to cut that toll down any.

Controlling the device can be done: Voice activation This can activate iris detector The eye looks, and blinking twice can activate This can be very efficient with practice This has an excellent future and Google\'s decision to have the screen slightly to the side, rather than a transparent or translucent display is much better, and the screen could be made movable. If one is sitting relaxed, then motion sensors can be used, especially for games. One has to be relaxed and away otherwise the knocking head would look awkward. Also the concept of remote realtime and augmented reality and HUD would be available to civilians. This will also help the disabled to control all kinds of devices. It should be known that the military has had similar technologies since the 70\'s.

Augmented reality would be good thing in many situations. I don\'t think this product will really offer that but its a step in the right direction. Your Tom-Tom really needs this kind of interface. Also it would be great for nice people almost all of whom are not as beautiful as the the models they push in our faces on TV. You could go and find a companion who is pleasant and nice to be around even if they aren\'t pretty and augment their appearance with the appropriate app. You get the \"Best of Both Worlds\", or you get assimilated. I\'m not sure which or if I care. :-)

Ever read \"Accelerando\" by Stross? It predicted these 6 years ago. I wonder if Apple can sue for ...something??

Should go well with Google\'s robo-car.

I\'d like to give you a heads up about your use of \"heads up.\" This phrase is from a practice of getting people to become aware of a threat coming their way (like say a foul ball hurtling toward them). You want all heads to go up to spot the \"missile.\"
HUD on the other hand, stands for HEAD Up Display because the user - originally a fighter pilot - could access information normally only available on an instrument panel with his head up - thus not losing contact with the all-important flight environment.
I would think a technical publication like yours would know this.
