Google Glass

[wishboneash]

This technology has a good future for a HUD, image/video recording, viewing approach plates etc, completely hands free.

Those look pretty cool, but i think it would be hard to see the screen.

Interesting....

How come Spock still looking into that radar hood instead of having one of these. Or Kirk doesn't have a Smart Phone to call Enterprise. I guess this technology never made it into their time track.

He's got something a whole lot better. He has a pin on his shirt that he just taps and he's in instant contact with anybody anywhere, including the Enterprise. Way better than getting out your phone, looking at it, tapping a bunch of numbers, etc.

That's called Siri on my phone. She's slightly bigger than the shirt pin, but can dial anyone on my list (just by asking) and take my heart rate like a Tri-corder, and provide supplemental guidance via WingX. She also provides a flashlight, similar to a phaser, but can't hurt anyone.

When JimR is done testing the latest Xavion app for us, Siri will help us keep the sunny side up in an emergency!!!

Low buck technology is getting better at a high pace.

Now, if Siri could provide ADSB coverage at altitude...

Best regards,

The glasses are meant to augment reality, meaning they are useful as HUDs where the display projects information about the objects the person is seeing.

Spock, being much smarter than all of us, made the logical choice of viewing his scientific data on an uncluttered background in hs hooded display instead of projecting the information onto his visual field, which on the bridge would involve a zillion blinking lights and hot women and worst of all - Kirk.
