Wearable computing

Wearable computing, article/video. I'm not sure what to think about this. Will it ever be practical?

It is easy to predict that an eyepiece will complement the already fairly common earpiece sooner than an "always-ready" projector, despite the fact that the latter will be available shortly (in small enough size to be truly portable, that is).

Can't help but imagine the reaction of a cop if you mistakenly accessed DOMAI's page in public... And I have no problem imagining 100 more reasons why I wouldn't want to share my display with the world, except in very specific occasions.

The clumsy (and slow) gestual interface would never fly either, IMHO. Truly reliable voice commands would be far preferable (the microphone is bound to be present anyway).

Nice try, but I don't buy it.
