Yup, the camera is also what killed it for me. I'm exactly the sort of guy who would pay fifteen hundred bucks for a hud, especially if it had even a nascent software ecosystem (I've already got a twiddler) And I'm absolutely okay wearing a bunch of nerdy shit on my face.

The thing that annoys me is that because of google glass, the average person now expects a HUD to come with a camera, too, which takes the whole concept from nerdy, which I can embrace, to creepy, which I try to avoid.

Google may have killed the very concept of a ubiquitous HUD.
