    Amazing bit of kit, but if you thought texting while driving was dangerous......
  2. The matrix was suggestive of these things. The part where smith and agents can become anyone. Here is the spill. In the future your left eye will get an IP address and police will be able to tap in if they need to record a crime that you are witnessing or committing. No warrant needed curtesy of your patriot act.

    you know, at first this made me laugh and then I thought about it. While your vision is a creepy exaggeration, it is in the right direction. The govt continues to give us more and more, and the more they want to 'help and protect' us the more they will want to make sure we're following their rules. If the govt is responsible for your healthcare, education, social security, job, income and general welfare, then you better belive they're going to want to know when you're doing something wrong.
  4. I can see so many applications for this. P o r n for example.

    Thinking of the Augmented Reality applications for porn is making me laugh.
  6. Would be creepy if someone hacked those glasses and the hacker can see what you can see & track where you are.

    Yeah, not gonna happen.

    Still, Razer needs to make their SnakeEyes not an April fools joke if Google is set on releasing something like this.

    No JC Denton "my vision is augmented" comments? I'm very disappointed.
  9. My glasses are augmented.
    And smudged :(
  10. And I thought bluetooth headsets looked ridiculous. Now people will look even more retarded walking around looking into thin air and talking and laughting to themselves. Now normal people can blend in with the mentally ill crowd that have been doing this for years now.
  11. So basically this vid shows life as a pointless wandering about meeting dudes and showing off to babes. Target age group: teenagers. Most adult people spend 90% of their time working, studying, raising kids, solving various domestic problems. If all this toy can do is help me to use Google whenever I have spare time, than thanks, I can enjoy friends and girls without sharing it constantly on google circles.
  12. I am not really sure how i feel about augmenting reality. One thing is for sure though, google is getting closer and closer to being able to deliver advertising straight to your brain. scary
