Google’s Project Glass Imagines the Cyborg Interface of Tomorrow

A new video from Google speculates about how glasses could function as our primary interface with the digital world in the future. Project Glass is the work of Google[x], which The New York Times described as “the clandestine lab where Google is tackling a list of 100 shoot-for-the-stars ideas.” Wandering into a growing territory known as design fiction, Google is hoping to spark conversation with users about how this technology might work.

Cool? Or terrifying?

I thought of this myself a couple of years ago.  Called them iGlasses.  Wonder how far these are from production?  - Waterman12053
