    Awesome. Immersive 3d/virtual-reality goggles are clearly the future of interactive technology, imo. In fact, these sorts of things should have been being worked on and released to the public already for quite some time, imo.

    Bah. I won't be happy until they put computers in our brains and the images appear directly in our heads. ;)

    Just what we need--more distractions. So, people are going to be wearing these as they walk around town, bumping into people and falling off curbs? Walking into traffic?

    Sorry, I didn't mean to be a wet blanket, but we're already having problems with traffic accidents due to cell phone use while driving...

    I remember the first time bluetooth technology for ear set came out and I would freak out when a person next to me or walking past me was talking, seemingly to themselves...it took a few months to get use to that.

    Knowing me, I would be so engrossed in the glass-vision I would constantly be running into things.
