That won't stop anyone.

I was actually expecting more. If they're selling for the prices of smartphones, there will be plenty of buyers.

**jeimizu** · 22nd February 2012

so it's google goggles, with actual goggles. I'm interested.

How would we focus on the screens?

They could do a projection that only we could see with the glasses of stuff that would actually be a couple of feet from us letting us focus on said screens?

**Mr. Smartass** · 22nd February 2012

I wanna know what they'll look like.

Can they make them cheap glasses that hook up to an expensive android phone?

I'd have one of the requirements filled then

Yeah, I want them to be compatible with my Galaxy Nexus.

**Xenocidebot** · 22nd February 2012

I've wanted something like this ever since the Airscouter was announced, but it's always talk and prototypes, and never a working, sellable model.

Not that Google can't do it, but it's an old idea, and more than one company has tried it before.

We're not far off from having augmented eyes that can take pictures and send them to Facebook.

**AnalAnnihilator** · 22nd February 2012

For some reason I was thinking wine glasses.

Without your consent, if that is made by google as well.

**SuperHoboMan** · 22nd February 2012

Shiitttttt that's fucking awesome looking. Google, I don't care if you take over the world, I welcome any and all technological advancements you bring with your domination.

Are you talking about the image in the article:

If so, that is actually a shot from Iron Man 2 I believe (namely because it shows the Iron Man suit in the top right corner and they mention Iron Man at the end of the article.)

And then, suddenly...*pops hands* Apple.

This is a good idea, I wonder how much they might cost? My guess is about the price of the Galaxy S II.

**Doctor Zedacon** · 22nd February 2012

Yeah, I'm sure a month or two after they are released, Apple will file a lawsuit claiming that they somehow infringe on some copyright or patent.
"Well, clearly they have infringed on our property by having a device power by some manner of battery system, a device that displays information and graphics, and a device that allows the user to interact with it. Please give us their money and stop them from selling this immediately."

With or without a contract? The phone itsself is insanely expensive.

But your avatar is Jensen in the shower.

So when you came into this thread there already was Deus Ex.

**lavacano** · 22nd February 2012

anyway

I'd prefer an interface that I control through a little joystick on my hand or something. Or a smartphone. Yeah probably the smartphone with the joystick thing as a backup.

Tape an Android to your wrist.

If you were to code in building blueprints like you can with roadways in Google maps, couldn't you do an indoor HUD map to find the nearest restroom?

**Jackpody** · 22nd February 2012

If they could put some strength into the glass in them, they would get ALL my dosh as I could use those instead of my regular glasses. If you have to wear glasses, why not wear a couple by Google in style of Adam Jensen?

**ewitwins** · 22nd February 2012

IT HAS BEGUN.

Photo Shop · 22nd February 2012

Still can't figure out how you'd focus on something that close.

TehDoctorz · 22nd February 2012

Do you guys think they will allow prescription glasses to be put in combination with this? like the actual prescription part goes in front of the HUD?

):

Clavus · 22nd February 2012

I'd buy them if I could code my own applications for it. Nobody likes closed platforms any more.

Clio · 22nd February 2012

gimme varia suit hud now kthx

**Kamigawa** · 22nd February 2012

This will be all fun and games until we get augmented ads...

**Derp Y. Mail** · 22nd February 2012

I've never had any strong reasons not to have an iPhone.

But if Google come through with this... I might just have to jump on the green robot-train.

Ordinary smartphone + wristband holder for it.

I once managed to write small enough to put a piece of paper in my aviator glasses to cheat on a final my sophomore year. Teacher never even wondered why I was wearing glasses indoors.
