That is scary, inside your head google will be.

so fucking cool

If that is for real, that is incredible.

Yeah, pretty insane.

That looks pretty sick, scary and awesome at the same time.

Very cool!

Also love that song in the background Bibio - Lovers Carvings

Supposed to be available for the Holidays 2012. We'll see.

awesome...

Just what the idiots in atlanta need while they are driving....

i expect this will work about as well as siri

omg...this is so badass...sunglasses that connect to the net

google wins
everyone else should just pack up shop now..lol

thank you - this is a relaxing song.

It's still a far way to Dennou Coil

but it's amazing what already is possible

This is great, and would make "smart phones" obsolete

Awful. Everyone is going to turn into walking zombies.

yah , they have been leaking this now for about 6-9 months, could be a real product

its called project glass

That page was started earlier today, not bad 50k g+ followers in a day. =]

this is a great video.

At the end I thought it was going to turn into a joke. I thought he was going to jump while his girlfriend watched. :Oh crap

I paid a few thousand bucks for laser eye surgery to get rid of glasses. Now I will have to wear glasses again just to constantly have a bunch of flashing icons obscure my vision?

no now every aspect of your life will be covered with ads and spam. yay.

I would totally buy those :)

ugh - cant wait to buy my house in the woods far from people and technology like that.

lol - :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Great, more people walking around talking to themselves.

Going as deep in myself as possible. :thumbsup

what the fuck?

Glasses are so old fashioned...
They should man-up and make it an implant.

That's what I was kind of thinking... Just walking in the mall is bad enough, imagine people not paying any attention - and then factor in driving.

Nice one porno jew.

can't wait to have adsense served directly to my brain

People look retarded enough wearing a Bluetooth, imagine wearing this...

There wasn't a single second in this video where I didn't wanted to punch that guy, and I didn't even saw his face.

You are assuming its not already there.

I was just thinking how funny people will look all wearing the exact same glasses.

I want Google to make a holoband like they had on Caprica.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

haha i love the music

scary as fock!

Should we optimize sites for this now? Or make new service, for example, face reckognition of people on street so you can find them in database of facebook or dating sites?


Also, what with people who use normal glasses with dioptry

I actually made something similar 10 years ago, but considerably larger, LOL and a belt load of convertors and mini IBM PC110 (remember them?)

My thought is that these are probably going to be an I/O device for an android tablet or phone that you'll need to bluetooth with. So unlikely for the shorterm that UI's need to be constructed for them. Can't see them packing enough punch into one small unit, or sustaining battery life otherwise. I had the problem when i was playing around of only an EGA mode I think, but using it just for icons was neat as you dont need to worry about resolution then. There is also something funky with your eyes that the closer you get the higher the percieved resolution is, something to do with visual acuity so you can get away with a fairly low res. I did see something recently that shows that some icons exceed CGA density or something but I wouldnt expect it to have a great resolution , nor would they want to talk about it either as people will just compare it to a retina display.
