[…] now, patiently awaiting its release. When Google announced Glass back in 2012 I got so excited I could barely contain myself. I signed up for the explorer program as soon as I was able to (read as soon as I got around to it, […]

Oh crap, forgot to add “;)” as the first is physically incompatible with the latter two, hence the joke. Sigh.

I’m hoping that the near future will bring sub-corneal lasik + computer-adjustable dynamic prescription lens implants + HUD implantable lenses; now that’d be awesome!

@ Luke Maciak:

Oh man, I love living in the future =D

@ Kim Johnsson:

You may need to scrap that policy sometime soon anyway. :P

Two words: Fuck yeah!

I, too, was born ready. Can’t wait for this. And assuming I can’t just install an add-on to my prescription glasses this’ll definitely make me scrap my no-contacts policy!

@ StDoodle:

Nice. Sounds like you are set for life in terms of glasses. Fortunately I never had to wear any prescription lenses, and I’d prefer to keep it that way if I can help it. :)

@ Eric:

They could, and they would probably be halfway decent at it. Still, the technology is still quite young, and these things tend to work best if the subject stands still facing the camera.

@ Morghan:

Yeah. Or they will rise prices of Neuropazine, but you gonna pay them anyway cause you don’t want your augs rejected. And then you’re like:

“I never asked for this!”

Another thing to consider. Transitions style lenses.

These I would do. I’m more than ready for all your cyborg fantasies, I’m just more cautious an want modular external enhancements rather than implants or all-in-one devices. I’ve seen too much sci-fi and anime to trust my functions to a company who could shut parts down or jack up maintenance prices on me. I know they can already track me via my phone, but I can always leave that at home. Glasses are the perfect solution for semi-paranoid people like me.

Technically I assume Facebook as well as Google could already provide facial recognition for that stuff…
