For info^^^



Seems like a long time off to me tbh.

 

[Addicted]

Cool idea, Google are getting way too many fingers in way too many pies for my liking though!

 

[Jamie_182]

been hearing about this on a few design websites. i definatly think its the future, but i doubt it will be any time soon.

a great idea though!

 

[Bodge!]

Very clever stuff.

 

[Tom]

Obviously needs a phone to run the show. But very cool.

 

[Cookie]

Want. Also want a ukelele

 

[mace¬]

Surely he'd just download the Ukelele app on his iPhone?

 

[Scrooge]

That'd be handy.

 

[.Adam.]

Oh wow. Superb.

 

[Rubicon_]

This will be cool!

So we're moving into a world where the human mind can become even more vacant and underused, provided you've got a phon in your pocket... with some charge in it.

I hear that teadchers are saying that kids shouldn't be learning facts at school, because they've got smartphones. They should just focus on soft-skills (problem solving and so forth)

So, now Wikipedia will replace real knowledge? This will only end well.

Modern world. It's being built to appeal to the r****d masses

Goodj do you know that spelling isn't marked as much in school anymore especially in high school.

 

[Goodj]

DAMNIT! I missed out on doing my amends by merely seconds.

I'm going to have to start using the spellcheck on this forum, I'm embarassing myself with my slack typing.

[Homer-Simpson]

And what it will end up looking like...

 

[Revels]

LOL

 

[The Fatty]

this is very possible with todays technology, but can you imagin the hazard it could casue if a image of carmen electra pops up in front of you when crossing the road and you trip over that dog you didnt see...

well here we go

 

[sven_8t4]

See 'Black Mirror' ............ nuff said

Great idea though..

 

[Munson]

Does anyone plan on buying into this?

Personally I'd rather kill myself, but I have a sinking feeling I'm probably in the minority.

 

[McGherkin]

Very probably banned in work lol.

I wouldn't put it quite like that but I agree. I think there's still social factors to overcome before people will openly walk around with those on their head.

 

[Scrooge]

It doesn't bring anything new to the table that I can't already do tbh

Why? I've got to admit I would love to buy a pair. I probably wouldn't wear them that much, but for particular occasions I imagine they would be fantastic.

Disagree completely.

 

[Snakey]

Voyeurism: Google knows how it's done.

 

[Tom]

its way too invasive, but i think eventually this will be a fairly common device.

the thing you have to get round is society accepting it, which wont be for a long long time.

 

[Bluebeard]

I can't be arsed to view the video. Can we have a breakdown?

 

[Jaff.]

Could come in handy for entertainment when walking the dog. Could be handy for work for me. Other than that pointless

still very basic at the moment then. It will get more interesting and have more unique purpose when it can act like a real heads-up display. i.e showing you live information about shops/objects as you walk down the road, being able to highlight your friends in a crowd etc. But to do that, it needs to be fill screen, not just a little bit on the top corner.

Perhaps once it stops being the price of lots of other things I should be buying instead, I'd consider it.

Only for twenty minutes though before it ended up yet another gadget consigned to a shelf

 

[welshname]

I think the idea is great, but it's just a novelty. I find any voice activated gadgets that you have to talk to are pretty infuriating. Until they come up with something you can have a proper conversation with instead of just barking commands at it'll never really take off.
