This project scares the hell out of me. This is going to cause eye problems and distract people and cause injury and accidents.
and cars cause accidents.

#12Hope it's not too offtopic. PR 101: Facebook launches Search Engine? Better tell something tech-pundits love to make them talk about us.
Is anyone really even talking about the Facebook thing? I actually had to Google it just to find out about it after reading your post.
Even after reading about it I couldn't care less. Facebook already has a search, this is just some types of analytics for your friends, meh...

I think the biggest scare that will happen is when geocoded data of the value-added type is overlayed upon your view.
Imagine these scenarios:
* The gun owners address map re-oriented so that when you look at a house, you see a "gun" symbol over it
* Property value over each home (available from county assessor)
* When Facebook makes another privacy-opening-oops and people with their wall/statuses set to semi-public have a little bubble over their head with their latest status update ("I'm so drunk from yesterday!").
* When you look at people, or their children, they automatically assume you are videotaping them. And someone out there is going to write an app that checks your name against a sex-offender registry and will notify anyone if you have a similar name to said person (guess you'd have to reveal your name somehow...which you might through Google Plus and the required real name)

#15Do we know what the augmented reality part will look like from the user's perspective? The skydive jump looks like it is basically a head mounted video camera - and while there is no doubting that was technologically very impressive, full video feeds in that wireless environment, I've not seen what it looks like for the person actually using the glasses.
They did the concept video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c6W4CCU9M4 I guess that's the long term goal. I haven't seen any real-world previews yet. I guess that's what is most exciting about the hardware going to developers soon, we should see some images.

#18Holy shit - If any one from google would like to give me a shot with some of these I would be more than receptive. Have been kicking ideas about ever since I first heard of these in 2011.

Ads and even more sever privacy violations are comming, not the future.
People with bluetooth sets in their ears looks funny to me, I guess people wit GG will look even more weird and scary.

#20I came up with an idea. It's Google Glass app+tool which controlled with this app. When Google glasses will come out there will be more people with app idea. So, should I patent my idea?
