This is nothing like Segway. Segway users are bound to be seen as too lazy to walk.
But imagine having these glasses on while performing a complicated technical procedure providing you with checklist of activities, enabling you to take pictures as you go.
Or giving a lecture/presentation without having to turn away from the public to peek at your presentation/notes.
Plus in comparison to Segway and bluetooth headphones these would make you look cool.
It just lacks a Brain Computer Interface.
I want one, of both.

- siavosh 15y agoI think that's a valid point especially for certain tasks, but it finally hit me what's slightly jarring about the glasses in the scenario the video portrayed. It creates a very clear seperation between you and the person you're facing, a complete loss of intimacy and focus which right now is the last refuge for non distracted human contact. It's analgous (roughly) to having someone talking to you while looking at their iPhone the whole time. In the personal (ubiquitous) scenario, I can see how glasses like these can be a violent intrusion in our relationships.
- JanezStupar 15y agoMy god. I am really curious what is your opinion of sunglasses?
- moheeb 15y agoTake them off when speaking to someone. No eye contact no respect. *Exceptions apply. At the beach is fine.
- yew 15y agoI wear photochromic prescription lenses and have horrible vision without them. I'm certainly not going to take them off, and you have no way of knowing that they are not sunglasses just by looking at them. That might explain my lack of aversion to the idea, though. Have to look into that...
