Yeah, and even if its a 1.0 thing that they expect to perfect over a couple versions, wearing something on your face does a lot to your sense of identity. It needs to look right, which pretty much means it needs to be well-designed — not Google's strong point.

It will be interesting if it catches on and everybody starts wearing glasses. Will we start hearing insults to people who are only "two-eyes?"

Well, if you think that this will be the first attempt ever to produce a portable HUD, I believe the impact this will have won't depend that much on its commercial success.

It's not in any way the first attempt to produce a portable HUD.

It might be the first attempt to produce a "low cost" mass market portable HUD, though.

Yes, I actually meant a marketable product.
