Google Augmented Reality Glasses!

Was about to check my email on yahoo when I was under the news section an article about this.

You can check out the video here
What do you guys think?
Cool?
Lame?
Awesome if you want to get hit by a bus while crossing the street?

Interesting - I'll pass though.
Yeah about the bus comment - I can only imagine the new and wonderful hazards such devices would introduce to my morning commute. As if cell phones distractions, the increasing disregard for safety regulations, and general inattentiveness of Joe and Jane commuter, were not enough...
I recall reading about this a year or so ago (National Geographic I believe) - the military (among others) have been working on these concepts for years now.

Aye its a foot step in the right direction...

Isn't it funny how Technology is advancing so rapidly?

I think it could be very cool and very convenient, but also extremely dangerous. People getting in car accidents because of cell phones? This would make it even more ridiculous.

A good few years from now we'll have cops pulling people over saying
"Sir im going to have to give you this $1000 fine for wearing glasses while driving"

Then there's that poor old-fashioned sucker who is wearing regular old glasses to help him see.

I swear I thought of this concept for my futuristic concept, but with headphones instead of glasses.
(To be honest I got it from Megaman Starforce... But yeah.)

This is what happens when you procrastinate creativity. D:

Cell phones were annoying, atleast this will be above your line of sight so you can see without looking down.

I find it both scary and fascinating how both man and machine are slowly becoming more and more integrated with each other. First, we have large computers that take up a whole room, then we start using portable devices like laptops and cell phones, and now we're getting to the point where quantum processing is possible, you can get an internet signal from just about anywhere, and computer chips controlled by your own brain waves can be implanted in your body. Imagine what it'd be like, maybe a century or two from now, when we start living in a Ghost in the Shell-like society...

This reminds me of a conversation a friend of mine and I had, where he mentioned that, "it makes me feel old knowing that our future children will probably grow up not experiencing things like land-line phones and video rental stores."
