Google Begins Testing Its Augmented Reality Glasses ⇥

It’s a cool idea that I will never use. Think Bluetooth headsets, only about ten times more irritating.

I’m perhaps being short-sighted, given that the video is demonstrating social networking achievements in augmented reality. However, Jason Lotito notes that this has further potential:

What this will provide for disabled and autistic people is amazing. It’s too easy to get caught up in the “social sharing” part of this and forget that something like this can really help change people’s lives.

Absolutely. And, to be entirely truthful, I think it will be more applicable in the lives of the disabled than in our lives.
