I think it needs to be a set of glasses and we need better battery tech before that can really happen. Solid state batteries will be needed since their energy density is so much higher. As a low vision user i can think of an immediate use as a magnification device. Actual magnifiers dont work well for me but software magnification does. Therefore i could magnify my surroundings to read signs, etc.

I totally agree with this. I think Google was ahead of its time with Google Glass and I think something like that could catch on in a future where the hardware and software are more robust. Driving/walking directions, real time translation...some great potential for useful applications!

Google glass was my thought too. It was just way ahead of its time, but google absolutely had the right idea
