#2There's an assumption here that if you're going to be using your Google Glasses to open a garage door, you'd presumably be wearing them while you're driving. I hope they finish driver-less cars first.
Other uses listed in the patent include: "For example, target device 14 could be a household appliance or device, such as a refrigerator, television, dishwasher, audio system, video system, alarm system, thermostat, garage door, etc. Alternatively, target device 14 could be an office appliance or device, such as a copy machine, fax machine, projection system, security system, etc. Other examples of target device 14 are also possible."

Do people even take the time to proofread their titles before submitting?

Why wouldn't one wear them while driving?
One of my first ideas for Glass is to act as a HUD for driving information. Especially for motorcyclists, having speed information and even rear view camera easily within your field of vision sounds like an excellent use of this technology.

The most important information while driving is in front of you and not on a HUD.

Wouldn't a HUD be less of an obstruction to your field of vision rather than multiple controls and readings spread throughout your dashboard?

There's also some nice-to-have information on the dashboard, which is why the dashboard is placed where the driver can easily see it.
Having your speedometer on a HUD instead of a dashboard does not make someone incapable of paying attention to the road.

#8Is this seriously the future? Where people are so lazy they can't use any strength at all to open a fridge or pressing a goddamn button to open a garage?
Guess I should have seen it coming. I'll commit suicide long before this kind of "technology" arrives.
Only because it's not technology. It does nothing to advance the human race except make them lazier. Stop the madness.

#10Sounds like a modernized X10 (which I haven't seen much of since the 1980s).
