Augmented Reality glasses here

The long-rumored specs would augment wearers' reality via the power of the Web, allowing them to access tools such as Google Maps and video chat as well as share photos and videos with friends on Google+.

These glasses will be very useful for a person like me who has trouble remembering people's names. :clap: :clap:

The prophet of technology Ray Kurzweil says augmented reality will come before full immersion virtual reality :clap: :clap:

This already exists. It's called Google.

And it's from Google. Of course.

Google has about 1000 ideas a year, and only one makes it through. I doubt this will be it. But, we are moving in this direction, which is what they're trying to push.

Augmented reality will be an idea that comes through, be it through eye glasses or computerized contacts. It has too many potential uses not to be made a reality soon.

But it is a reality. It exists, today. The only difference is it isn't as immediate as this video suggests. But phones are capable of everything in this video. Just point, and watch what happens on your screen.

Just like they do with your phone? :?

Google doesn't care about that, I'm sure. Governments perhaps, yeah. Google is simply a corporation trying to maximize profits. That is all.

Google already knows everything you've searched up the past decade and has mapped out your address so there really is not escaping from them. Unless you're hiding something why the need to be paranoid? :lol: :lol:

Ah, so many debates I've had, because of that single sentence.

And later on they find out people get visual problems from these things and then they'll take it off the market, too predictable..

We are moving past the limited screens of phones. Handheld phones will die off within a decade I predict. Why settle for phones when we can surf the internet on our eyeballs?

Yeah, a decade sounds right, but I say 5-7 years. Being hopeful lol.

I'm just saying, augmented reality already exists. It's facilitation might become more convenient soon.

I never said it didn't exist already. I'm just saying it's about to get a whole lot powerful.
