Google Co-founder Sergey Brin Wears Project Glass in Public

[ojas]

Hmmm...at least if these get viruses you could just smash them on the ground 😀

 

[chronicbint]

Futurama already did the "eyephone". Google stole it.

 

[beetlejuicegr]

aah for power source they could plug in some fan inside a blood vein , the constant blood stream would give power to the fan which will convert it to electricity lol 😛

 

[santeana]

I'll hold out for the retinal implant version 😉

Someone walks into your store, "Where's the music section?", then walks off straight to it. Or better yet... Professor: "What is a Lewis structure?", *the answer flashes before your eyes*. You: "It is used to represent the covalent bonding of a molecule or ion...". I suspect it will be quite some time before these go mainstream due to hesitation by customers to adopt such a technology that would so drastically change the social world.

One step closer to the moment I have been waiting for since I was a kid!

"We're locked into the moon's gravitational pull. What do we do?"

[Servo-mechanical sound of Lord Kril's eyepiece swinging over his left eye]

"We die."

 

[chumly]

Is anyone else worried about these things giving people brain cancer?

Wow, looks a bit like the gadget in the Star Trek: The next generation episode 'the game'

 

[kristoffe]

this is a great idea for work and for travel, and a horrible idea for personal privacy. why would you not want to carry a camera around? this is certainly a spying device, great if you're the one taking the pics, terrible if you are not. and linking it to everything you do, it is the modern fingerprint x1000.

NOW LINK TO FACEBOOK AND HAVE YOUR EMPLOYERS REVIEW YOUR LIFE, AND ONLY RENT AFTER REVIEW...

[citation][nom]drew455[/nom]just what i need... advertisements in real life.[/citation]
Oh wow, where do I begin?

Firstly, billboards. You can't drive and not see an advertisement. Secondly, internet. Nuff said. Third, Television. Get what I'm on about yet? Fourth, phones. Yes, advertisements have infiltrated your pants.

My point is made. Cool devices or not ads are everywhere, you can't change that, and get over it.

However if I have to see ads on these could we at least get them in flashing lights and shiny colors? Though I would prefer a hud ala Iron Man.

 

[eddieroolz]

That looks, er, annoying for those that never had to wear glasses.

LOL. good one.

 

[Tab54o]

Such a bad idea and totally un needed. WE all know people are going to be driving with this on.

Even if it's just a display device (without its own cellular antenna or self-contained CPU) that connects to a phone in your pocket, it's still damn cool.

 

[jrtolson]

it would have been a better add if:

Review primary directives. . . . .

1."Serve the public trust"
2."Protect the innocent"
3."Uphold the law"
4.(Classified)

 

[robochump]

I like how the Google site for these glasses have beautiful people and not the fat tech nerds that will actually be wearing them...lol.

 

[del35]

Oh no! This will likely replace all digital devices including the smart phone and the tablet. I also have a bridge to sell you in Florida.

Exactly what I was thinking - could be just a Bluetooth connection to your phone in your pocket - most people have a smart phone anyway, and why would they want to carry another device that connects to the world when it can use the connection you already have. Could be developed to tie in with your Android device perfectly.
