It’s a glimpse of the future of augmented reality, wearable computing, and better integration of the Internet and technology in our day-to-day lives. Imagine replacing your smartphone with a pair of glasses, controlling them with your voice and movements of your head. No more pulling out your smartphone and concentrating on a slab of glass as you walk around – everything you need is already right there in your vision.

One day, when we’re all using retinal implants with built-in augmented reality tech, Google’s Project Glass will seem quaint. But today, it’s the future. At least, I hope it is.
