Do any of these apps overlay information into your field of vision/hearing about what you are looking at? If so, how is the performance (is it real time or laggy?), and is it distracting?

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Would you wear a contact lens version of Glass if it was available or does the same apply?
Someone already pointed this out in another thread: what if someone hacks it, starts displaying shock porn. Closing your eyes won't help, neither can you take them off as easy as glasses.

Are there any apps yet? Do any of these apps overlay information into your field of vision/hearing about what you are looking at? If so, how is the performance (is it real time or laggy?), and is it distracting?
None of the third party apps are overlaying information in an augmented reality fashion. The performance is pretty good, the navigation maps turn smoothly when you turn, etc.
It is a little distracting, but not nearly as distracting as I was expecting.

Have you tested it outside a city?

How much of your field of vision does it generally take up? If I catch someone using it when we're ostensibly having a conversation, will I be able to sucker punch them with impunity?

Does the connectivity drop sometimes? Does it become just a bit of plastic when that happens or does it still do something? Have you tested it outside a city?
The benefit would be that you could mount the camera in a less conspicuous way, perhaps as a more traditional looking bluetooth headset. Or, you could mount the camera wherever you wanted; facing behind you, on your bike handlebars, leave it at your car while you're at a restaurant, put it on your RC airplane, etc. The camera would communicate wireless with the wrist watch, which would have a microphone you could speak commands to, and perhaps additional buttons to control the camera or even a multitouch screen.
And why stop at one camera? You could pair multiple cameras to your watch and control them individually. Put one facing behind you and in front of you, or give one to your friend while you both play one-on-one basketball.
Glancing down at a watch doesn't seem that much less convenient than staring at a HUD projected into your eye, and there's a lot less stigma attached to wearing a watch than wearing the goofy looking Glass.
Just a thought, I don't know how viable it would be.
