    I cannot wait for this technology to be released. This is going to open up a huge market. I cannot wait to develop some apps on this.

    It's a pretty cool technology i gotta admit.. but it looks kinda weird when u wear it
     
  3. They said the same about bluetooth earpieces, tablets, cellphones and all ubiquitous technologies we take for granted today, and in the past. New technologies with high potential will become ubiquitous once society begins adopting them in mass.

    I for one cannot wait until it happens for this. Did I say that before? lol

    I read this yesterday on BBC News. Well the price isn't known and it isn't fully out in the market for sale yet, they are just getting feedback...for now...

    First view, it look too good to be true. But it's true (like stated) and imo the price would most likely be set at a premium. The only problem I could see here is like all voice input, if you can't pronounce the word properly, it wouldn't recognise it. Photos too, haha in HD quality, really?
     
  7. I'm sure you've noticed, geeks are the ones who created the shit you rely on every day, and are the ones who run the world lmao

    It's just a matter of refining. Google voice does a fairly good job at that, compared to its competitors, but again, it's just a matter of time and refinement.

    i buy one if i can see thru girl.. lol

    Anyway i think it is a cool technology but i dont think they will release in 2-3yr.. probably many years..
     
  12. They said in the article that they were in testing phase. That means they have a prototype. It doesn't take 2 years to become a sellable product.

    Ahhh no wonder why it look so familiar, it's the guy from DBZ (can't remember his name, but he is a bad guy).

    I sense that many people using this will get robbed lol, no where to hide it when in use.

    The good thing I could see from that video footage is the convenience because you are no longer restricted to holding them, PLUS, it relies heavily on voice-command and I suppose internet too. The problem that I could see (in the long run) is that, since it only goes over one of your eyes, won't one of your eye be 'more' damaged? Like, it is very close to your eyes and I was wondering, how are you suppose to see it if it is that close?
