Imagine a world where OLED screens can be worn or even tatooed to the skin, powered by kinetic motion? It's a brave new world, aye!
Or even powered by excess blood glucose?...

#22Are we supposed to want this? As if it wasn't already hard enough to talk to people who are constantly whipping out their smartphones.

Are you implying I'm producing more than absolutely necessary? How dare you.
Probably referring to this[1], though I'm hoping they come up with a way for me to power my house. Finally, a reason to pull out the Nutter Butters.

#26Control input will make or break this thing. I don't think a single button and touchpad will cut it for general computing.
They're riding the wave of hope that voice controls have now, maybe I'm naive but it's going to have to improve by miles for anything beyond novelty use.
I could see this focusing on a tighter use case, like content aware eye mounted cameras with social features, and why not two of them for stereoscopic?

#27I cannot in my wildest stretch of imagination see myself ever buying something like this.

Touching it at all is likely a deal-breaker. People would likely prefer using a 'remote' on their phone to issue commands, rather than using an indirect pointing/clicking device on their temple.
Mobile is primarily different from Desktop in that the little annoyances are too much for the form factor and use cases. And indirect pointing and clicking just doesn't cut it in mobile.
Wearable will only be more extreme this regard.

Or a wristwatch shaped device.
