here we go again, escentially patenting "glasses with functions"
What I love about these glasses is that they're not just an idea, they're actually testing them, in practics. There's physical alpha (or beta?) builds of them. It's actually [I]real[/I].
I said this in the Google section, but I'll say it again:
I love this era of technology.
Apple this year - Patents a bunch of crap to prevent Google from getting profit off of Android (and they also released yet another iPad)
Google this year - Patents a completely new, innovative product that they're actually working on.
Good. I want to see this happen with contact lenses as well. Assuming they do it correctly with glasses first.

I wouldn't exactly call the idea of augmented reality glasses new or innovative. The idea has been around for decades.

An idea, remember. The fact that it exists as a reality and not an idea is new.

This is another reason why patent law needs reform.

besides google is also working on a lot of cool shit like the self drivable car etc. Google is a good example of company using it's success to actually innovate.
I can finally strut around shouting "my vision is augmented".
Oh crap they're beating Valve to the wearable-computing punch with this.
