Even their specific design is pretty close to some old Mann hardware (http://www.glogger.mobi/userpub2.php?username=mann&i=201..., which I've linked to...well, it's "below" currently).

Never knew about that list; time for an archive trawl, I think. Thanks!

Similar to a degree, but I can't tell from Google's publicly shown designs if they are even going for the eye-tap paradigm. So far the camera and display are spatially separated and one has to look up from a scene to see the display.

Though I suppose they may be thinking that common use-cases will involve rotating one's head down a bit while maintaining one's line of sight, similar to "looking over one's glasses", which would bring their screen between the user's eye and what one is looking at.
