i can also see more wearable electronics in the future, especially with advances in OLED and conductive polymers that are optically transparent and flexible. no idea what the timeline would be though, but these augmented reality glasses may come out sooner than we think =)

i d be happy with the looking glass though! it'd be a big step forward (at least on the software side) thx for your input!
