Is this for cheating at cards with Google Glass? :)

I wonder if casinos will start banning people from wearing Glass. I guess you could write some CV software to keep track of cards and then automatically display your probabilities, kind of like the graphics they show on TV when broadcasting poker.

There's going to be a problem when technology reaches the point that it's practical to embed a general-purpose computer with a decent neural interface in your skull.

Don't worry, they'll just create some scanner capable of finding out whether you have some stuff like that or not as early as at entrance.

I'm way ahead of you there.

And state gaming commissions are issuing directives to make it clear that Google Glass shouldn't be allowed.

I wonder how they define "device". Does my contact lenses count? Arguably they give me quite an advantage over not wearing them.

You're not even allowed to where the glasses that assist you with marking cards, I think Google Glass is probably out of the picture as well. :)
