Pretty neat. Seems like there’s a big push for ergonomics in a lot of new tech lately. Your wrist watch, your glasses . . . . . they want to get us to the point where we wear our smart gadgets instead of carrying around a touch device. Pretty exciting times.
I will buy the shit out of those.
BTW: They should totally give these to some Special Forces dudes. I bet they could find them useful somehow.
All we need now is the implantable computer chip at birth. Download data Matrix style. I’m not so excited about all this technology.
There’s a big difference between something you choose to wear and something implanted under your skin. This is all still very voluntary. If you don’t like the ideas, don’t buy any if it.
The second it’s made mandatory, that’s a whole different ball game. But don’t be afraid of new technology just because its new. That’s called a Luddite. I will admit that I don’t exactly like how I cannot remove the battery from my iPhone, and therefore am never 100% sure it’s powered off. But that’s as far as my tin foil reaches.
How about the main CPU and “guts” in a wrist watch, and the glasses as your display, camera, earpiece and microphone? All connected back to the watch via Bluetooth or something similar? Awesome.
It’s heading that way. Probably before I die. Just sayin’. My foil hat might be on a bit tight but that’s how I see it.
I guess I’m a ludite. Or maybe I just don’t appreciate Google’s attempt to monopolize information and technology. And bear in mind, any business you do with those two companies (certainly not the only ones) some money goes in to progressive pockets.
Then I guess it’s a slap in their face is a rightist like me buys it.
Or even bigger for guys on this board to buy it and use it to post shooting videos.
I gotta say I’d prefer it if a smaller company, or a company like Intel made it. Then I’d be all the hell over it. But I would be more likely to buy a Google product, than an Apple or Microsoft product.
That’s true, but you can’t really avoid that. The “progressives” control most of the newspapers and news media, most of Hollywood, and most of the Internet/ tech innovation/ computer companies. A boycott isn’t really feasible unless you’re a Mennonite. I certainly keep an eye on which companies are run by assholes and avoid them if I can, but, more often than not I can’t.
I really don’t want to wear a heads up display.
Hell I don’t even turn my phone ON unless I need to make a call.
Looks like Bluetooth Asshole 2.0 to me.
The augmented reality (“AR” - figure you guys would like that) apps have a lot of potential, and are the main purpose of these glasses. They’re currently in the hands of developers who are writing the AR apps you’ll see at launch, which as I recall is next year. The glasses cost them $1500 as dev preview units, not sure what they’ll go for when they hit the market.
LOL. You know the first thing people will use these for is porn.
Porn and war drive modern technology.
Is that a bad thing?
(And yeah, I know you’re right.)
Thanks for the ab workout . . . :lol:
Seriously though people where in the hell are the Phased Plasma Rifles in 40watt Range and three seashells!? No more cartridges or toilet paper = win win for humanity.
Muzzle loaders, and leaves.
Nah, I’m talking The Terminator and Demolition Man not The Last of the Mochicans.
I’m still waiting for my hover board
We’re gonna be stuck in the stone age as long as people are still shooting 1911s.

Ask and ye shall receive. Granted its in its infancy, but pretty soon there will be an HD version for enhanced vision.
Nifty idea, but who really needs to become more disconnected from actual people? Good news is maybe more people will walk in front of busses while updating their Facebook or fall off a cliff cause the GPS was just a tad off. The gene pool is in desperate need of a cleansing.
