Google's
Project Glass -- the newly unveiled concept headgear that would
superimpose graphics on your view of the world -- immediately made me
think of
Steve Martin's glasses in "The Jerk." The ones that made him cross-eyed.
With
the new augmented-reality headgear, cool graphics pop up on a small
screen a few inches from your right eye. Would those of us 40 and older
have problems
refocusing? Honestly, just thinking about it makes my head hurt.
But
it's early yet. Perhaps the middle-aged can request built-in
progressive lenses -- the virtual suggestion box, after all, is open. On
Wednesday, Google launched its
Google+ page for Project Glass: "We want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input."
According to
CNN, the product is far from finished, and Google only went public in order to gather
feedback.
