Let me adjust my tinfoil hat here.

Let's assume the following technologies would all make sense in something like this: - Forward-facing camera. - Eye tracking. - Object recognition (similar to Google Goggles)

So Google can tell what you're looking at, and for how long. Nope. Can't see any possible risks there from the company which tracks you across the web...

I'm still in the early phases of this and not that dogmatic about it, but I'm noticing in my life I'm starting to trend towards a "fight the cloud; own your personal computers" party line. Augmented reality can be a greatly empowering technology, but you should own it. And you don't own the cloud. He who owns the CPU calls the cycles; be someone who owns, not someone who is owned.

Software freedom becomes more and more important in this world. Let's hope Google follows their policy with the Nexus line and makes room for custom firmware.
