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.

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.

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. :)
