Well if the marketing people are to be believed, but, maybe
they are right. I mean, when I was a
kid, the thought of a heads up display being possible was the stuff of
dreams. How cool would it be to have
facts about what you’re looking at just beamed into your vision!

This desire obviously stems from an unhealthy need to know
everything, but as designers, to know is to inform. So I’ve always kept an eye on developments,
and to be honest, they were slow and quite unrealistic, what was once suggested
that a backpack full of a desktop pc and a bike helmet with an old TV screen
hanging in your view was a start, the evolution into laptop with a recycled
screen on goggles.

But now Google glass is here! A pair of glasses that tell you weather
information, messages, video chat, GPS data and even transport info to help steer
you to work faster, and keep you in touch with friends at a shake of the
head.
This is awesome, so the future is here, but how far can we
take it?
