- Filligree 14y agoThe killer app for eyewear like this is augmented reality, but the technology is not yet there. It will be, maybe in another ten years. Until then, devices like Glass will become progressively more useful. A good take on it is the television series Dennou Coil, set in a future where augmented reality has become truly transparent. It shows the concept from the viewpoint of children, conveniently escaping a lot of the potential pitfalls of predictions.

Because I would imagine the majority of the population would not know or care what Nintendo DS is. I fail to see how it is applicable to Google Glass which is designed from day one to be a mass-market device.
