If you think google glass is a toy, you’re mistaken greatly, google glass, and the Iwatch will change everything in ways you still are yet to discover. Time will tell.

Why do I need my thermostat to pop up information when I get home? I know what temperature it is, I know how to turn it up if I want.

And you definitely don’t need to start your car remotely, since you’ll be sitting in the damn thing to drive it.

The only vaguely useful stuff in this article is having a single point for controlling things in the home, but this is actually much more useful on a phone or tablet then on your eye.

Deep Space Nine, The Dominion used glasses similar to these in their ships, and in the JJ Abrams reboot, there’s a display panel on the bridge that uses this type of tech.

I’m an interaction designer / programmer who’s worked with gesture control and computer vision. Even if I were to spend months studying how Google Glass or head mounted gear will change interaction – my predictions would mostly be wrong.

I had more to say but I’m pissed off I lost everything (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Although the talking shoes are not for consumer use, its good to know that this will be available to people.

Oops, ill have to put my Google glass in my pocket.
For me, the future is a wrist wearable tablet type device, where calls will all be video based.

The combination of mobile, social and streaming apps means the glass is the interface to bring data rather than pulling a phone out of your pocket. The watch has a play, too and these aren’t toys at all but workplace tools of the future.

Imagine looking at the floor of a factory and knowing which machines are nearing an end of their maintenance cycle or which are running at temperatures above normal. There’s no reason to plot on charts when simply looking in a direction can begin a stream of data.

The trick will be integration of historical and real-time data fast enough to make a difference, and finding ways to streaming and static analytics in ways that simplify the complex and give it context.

Give me a wallet replacement. Put 4G, text and data contract on my Touch. Add a credit card app. Perfect form factor: light, bright, slight, tight.
