See the work of Prof. Steve Mann, specifically "EyeTap". I understand one of his ex-students is on the Glass team, however "an entirely new kind of device" it is not. It has a heritage of ideas and implementations that are around 30 years old.

It would be easier to take Steve Mann seriously if he would just release more/any schematics.

Check his book "Intelligent Image Processing" for info on the EyeTap, plus lots of other interesting stuff.

Take him seriously about what? That he has built the devices he claims to have built? That he actually wants widespread wearable computing?

That's true, but Glass is the first time something like this has been mass-produced. It's clearly a version 1 product, even though there have been other people doing similar stuff before glass.
