What's with the Blank Stare?

02/02/2013 8:55 AM

Are you looking at me? Are you looking at me?? Well you look like you're lookin' at me...

"Mr Brin, 39, who runs the secretive "Google X" development group, has also been spotted wearing the hi-tech specs around San Francisco. He demonstrated an early iteration of Google Glass at a conference in May 2012, where the audience was treated to a live feed from the glasses' built-in miniature camera, worn by members of a skydiving team in freefall.

When the headset is connected to a wireless network, it can overlay augmented reality information about the wearer's surroundings, culled from Google search and location data, on to their view. It can also capture video and photos and instantly share them online. According to the FCC papers, the device can store video files and be recharged with a power cable that attaches to the right-hand arm of the spectacle frame. Mr Brin has admitted its battery life is a work in progress.

The $1,500 device is expected to be delivered to software developers sometime this year, and Google has already begun to host "hackathons" in New York and San Francisco, for those developers to brainstorm new and exciting applications for Glass. The firm has said it hopes to make the device available to the public by the end of 2014.

I guess it might depend on whether you're right brained or left brained....I wonder if they will have right or left hand display option? What about a foul weather model, you know, global warming and all....

Heads up heading....?

Clubbing model, I need info.....

Great - how soon after release to the public will it be before traffic accidents become attributable to wearing one of these while driving? NY will have the first law making it a fine to wear and drive.

My money's on California. These will be known in the State of California to cause cancer in lab rats when they eat them.

The solution is obvious: move those rats to Nevada.

NY likes to jump on these issues - my wife got a big fine a number of years ago for answering her cell phone in the state. (health care field - she's on 24 hr call) Neither of us knew it was illegal in NY at the time.

Hey lyn...

Here is some serious invasion of privacy Big Brother stuff! Imagine Google streetview streamed live by nerds and geeks from around the world...all with implied consent (well, you were in public!)
