Give me one of these and a set of Newgle Glasses, all connected to a wristwatch computer on the other arm and we'll be able to dump laptops.
Imagine literally being able to work anywhere. On the beach, climbing a mountain, anywhere the hardware works.

I can see it: virtual screens projected in our eyes (or directly to brain), with mind-controlled keyboard, mouse and/or other input types..
So programmers of the future might just look like high-tech monks meditating.

Dreaming up artificial realities using only our brains.
One day we will all be gods.

Or the entire world will be our cubicle.

Hopefully no need for them to be only artificial realities.

Probably not good when climbing a mountain.
On the obituary "Lost grip due to an auto-play ad at full volume...". ;)

What are these "Newgle" glasses ? I have not found any useful references to these.

They're a hypothetical future product like Google Glasses, but much better.

Personally, I'd really like to be able to use something like this for CAD design / performing operations on 3D models. :)
For bonus points, multi-user interactive product design sessions.
That should help to reduce iteration time in product development.

Why do you need a mouse at all? I barely ever use it.

Very few websites (apart from the most basic ones) are keyboard-friendly.

You're gonna love Vimium/Vimperator/whatever. It makes the whole browser keyboard-accessible with easy bindings (if you're familiar with the Vim ones).

I really liked Vimium, but I ran into a problem where it just annihilated CPU and I had to uninstall it. It's probably been a few version changes since then, so I might give it a try again.
Next steps after that would be programmers coding away with their minds..?
