Are Smart Glasses in our Future?

Google has posted several pictures on Google + of cute people wearing so called "augmented glasses," ie, glasses with sort of a heads-up computer display.  Here's a video:


Will this be the next big thing in technology?  Will they be super cool like the iPhone?  Or, will they be uncool like, well, Google+.  I think I'd find them annoying. Remember those bluetooth ear pieces that only ever worked on Lt. Uhura?  They were supposed to be super cool, but instead they became the hot ticket for middle aged real estate agents.

They may be available as early as later this year and could be priced like a smartphone.
If they make everybody who wears them look as cool as this guy, they'll be a smash.
The danger is, they might make us look like this guy.  Got to keep in touch with those hot used car prospects.

And people worry about texting-while-driving...

I am hoping and praying they make a cat-eye version. I sent the link to my 18-year-old nephew Alex, and he proclaimed Google glasses to the "the best thing I've ever seen in my life!"
