Title: Google Glass
Post by: Babyfacemagee on February 04, 2013, 09:05:47 PM: Was curious who in the forum has been following the latest developments of Sergei Brin's pet project, Project Glass', also known as 'Google Glass'. Will 'Google Glass' replace the phone someday? Is augmented reality the future and will we all be walking around with these things on one day?

Ads and artwork wherever your cyborg vision turns. Instead of touch screen, the graphics would simulate touch control. Instead of a tablet, android contact lenses.

Disappointing, I'll hold out for the direct neural interface. As long as it's not patented by Apple.

Maybe they will make a shatterproof version. I still haven't become comfortable talking to my devices in public. And its too loud at work to be any use.

Post by: JayJ on April 28, 2013, 05:48:38 PM: I don't like them, wouldn't want to interact with somebody wearing them either...
They could take my picture without my knowledge or consent and whilst talking to them they could be watching porn or searching the meaning of life or Skyping my conversation with them...
Plus they look damn stupid, I think I'd laugh at anybody I knew wearing them...

Wonder if this tech will work for those of us with astigmatism, or inability to focus. I wear trifocals.
