My understanding is that this "see through the vehicle" capability is built into at least some helmet-HUD/Helicopter combinations that the military has.
If it suffices for an attack helicopter, I'd say that the idea probably has serious potential for automobiles as well. I wouldn't expect to see it come to standard consumer cars yet, but for commercial drivers (particularly truck drivers who have massive blindspots) this could be invaluable. Imagine being able to see through the back of your box truck while backing up!
- tibbon 13y agoYep, that's pretty much what I'm thinking. It started all with thinking how terrible of an idea it would be to wear this while motorcycling... Someone at Google with access to one of the self driving cars should see what this would 'look like' from a passenger perspective with the data.

- tibbon 13y agoI've joked that the ultimate tech hipsters need to use the Rift + Glass at the same time to look at a virtual Pebble watch on their arm...
- catshirt 13y agowhat purpose does Glass serve?
- tibbon 13y agoSo you can see your tweets ;)
- partomniscient 13y agoIt's so other people can watch you seeing your tweets without being able to actually see your tweets.

- wavefunction 13y agoI want to be able to see through other people's vehicles.

- commandar 13y agoThe F-35 has six cameras embedded in the aircraft which project images inside the helmet, literally allowing the pilot to look through the airframe. https://www.f35.com/about/capabilities/helmet https://www.f35.com/about/capabilities/helmet
