    This is pretty cool considering I look through glass everyday as it is.. :D
    Wonder if it would work with prescriptions..


    However, the whole "talking" thing I'd be wary about. I'm already self-conscious talking into my phone/using voice commands/bluetooth as it is. :p

    I remember reading awhile back about them having already worked on the tech that could make this possible.

    I so want something similar, and the voice would work for me since I wear bluetooth a lot as is. <.< People think I'm crazy though, long hair hiding bluetooth + talking to self = lol. This would only make it worse.

    it does not show it running face recognition. Something I will want. Anyone with a tagged online photo,I "See" them on the street,all their online info is instantly there for me to see. Would be great at partys..never forget someones wifes name..kids names..where they work. At business functions..know who everyone is instantly. This could be very handy.

    Remember all this funtions on bluetooth. I'd have to see a data plan before this becomes viable.

    I hope it has an app so that I can use it as a DBZ scouter.

    "What's his power level?"

    "Uuhhh... 8,999."

    "Oh. He's a noob."

    ...it will be a time of legends.

    Little Child: Grandpappy, was it a sad time when we started losing our right to privacy, anononymity, and personal freedoms?

    Me: No child, it was met with thunderous applause and huzzahs. We welcomed it with open arm because the technology was so /epic.

    I have to admit its pretty cool, but I'm already disturbed by the number of cameras in cities, the tracking of our Internet activity, former NSA Bigwigs fine tuning Facebook, and the advent of facial recognition software. Don't think for one minute what and who you will track wont be logged. Technology is always a double edged sword, unfortunately.
