Google to sell Augmented Reality Glasses in 2012.

[lumpenprol]

seems like it would effectively prevent most "person on person" crime. Which is pretty cool. No more muggings. Or else, muggers and pickpockets will just get better at always approaching people from behind...

Not a Doctor Who fan myself but that is cool.

Nobody? Most sci-fi becomes reality 2013.

[Guest RadarJammer]

only one eye? looks uncomfortable/uneven. fancy pictures and youtube videos look cool but what they don't show is that you're only seeing any of that shit through one eyeball.

[cear]

can you check people's power level with that thing?

[Guest isaki]

welcome to a new era of muggings

[Guest isaki]

 

ok, glass. record video

I'm sorry, I did not recognise that command. Please say it again.

CALL THE FUCKIN POLIS

Those videos make me feel uncomfortable.

 

Is that actually happening ?

[kakapo]

If I can get a HUD display of my Cheetah MS6's parameters when I look at it and then give voice commands to modulate CCs I'm interested. Otherwise this is a complete wate of time and will never take off.

Those videos make me feel uncomfortable.

 

Is that actually happening ?

only if you live in a world of happy, perfect moments and shaky video

Aw too bad my life is so un-shaky then. Well I suppose I have to feel happy that I won't have to wear those sexy glasses in every moment of my life. Hope I'll be able to carry on when every body will have a pair though.

[azatoth]

I look forward to the "accidental record video while wanking then send video to all contacts" type mishap of this brave new world.

[luke viia]

lol, I don't think glasses typically appear shaky while you're wearing them.. just when you're staring at a video recorded by a moving head.

 

Surprisingly high levels of protective sarcastic douchiness in here for some reason. :P

[Guest isaki]

I'm just playing really. these things are cool, I guess -- I just don't see anyone using them anytime soon

[Silent Member]

My main concern is the design and what the audio/video quality will be like. I'm not going to be an early adopter, but I can imagine this being awesome in a few generations. Being short sighted and all I hope this finds it's way into some decent looking, normal glasses down the line. "Do you want anti-reflection coating and hd-audio/video interface with your new glasses, sir?"

[Friendly Foil]

So this thing is voice controlled?

 

Oooh, you have to say "ok glass" in front of everything. Amazing.

[GORDO]

woah! is is 2012 already? time flie!

[Guest isaki]

I'd rather press a button than say "ok glass", but I guess it's there for a reason -- that being to let the glasses know you're going to say a command so that daily conversation doesn't interfere

[granty]

I can see that getting tiresome for Phillip Glass's personal assistant.

[Friendly Foil]

lol
