I guarantee you that for at least the next 10, possibly 20 years, there will not be a consumer product that involves sticking a camera/tiny monitor on your face. Google killed that product space completely with their initial incredibly flawed roll out. The number of news reports of people being beaten down in bars for being glassholes, and the picture of scoble in a shower wearing his google-glass burned into all nerds brains has scorched that product space for the forseeable future. Which is unfortunate, because the concept of a HUD always available, and always recording, I think would be a really excellent technological innovation that I would totally take advantage of - if only I could avoid the extreme social outcast component.
