Not as awesome as the self driving car, but cool nonetheless.

That better come out before the glasses do. Can you imagine driving down the freeway when a call comes through directly in front of you? People would be dying by the (self-driving) truckload.

 

[Printer Bandit]

hasn't april fools already passed? hard to tell nowadays if google is actually serious.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Pretty cool stuff. I would love the maps feature on my glasses.

But I hate voice controls, go away, no one likes voice controls.

 

[Nemesis13]

how else would you control it?

 

[Atomic Playboy]

how else would you control it?

Geordi LaForge and Cyclops seemed to do OK with their hands.

 

[mnewsham]

eye movements could be used for control but it would need a feature that detected when you were driving and would ignore any notifications, or route them to your car sound system with audio alerts instead of visual in the heads up display.

Can't be real - there were no ads being displayed on it.

 

[amdhunter]

I wish I was cool like that guy.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Neat but no. I've already become aware that all we do is hold and stare into our phones. At least I can see that people are occupied with that. Now people are just going to be consumed inside a pair of glasses? Ugh.

 

[SandEagle]

this is what the glasses look like. cool, can't wait.

Somebody's been watching Universal Soldier:

[Lifted]

I was totally buying it until he shared a photo on Google+.

 

[DesiPower]

so if I start jacking off it will start redtube for me automatically?

 

[TridenT]

Eh... I don't know if I'd like that thing. Voice controls suck a lot of the time.

Finally something has come along that will look even stupider than a bluetooth headset circa 2001.

 

[FelixDeCat]

We have spent billions of dollars on Lasik procedures (including my $3500.00 contribution back in 2002) only to back to wearing glasses? No thank you.

what if they make a contact lenses version of the glasses but with x ray vision.

Hahaha! :awe:

 

[Squisher]

Google now brings you.....real life.

 

[cliftonite]

Looks pretty cool.
