Funny, but that's not how Google Glasses will work. The display doesn't seem to block your view at all.You just change your view to one angle for a moment, and then you can change it back in a fraction of a second, much like you would look into your car's mirror, and then back to the road in front of you.

That's actually a very smart implementation and solution, instead of putting a HUD interface over an entire lens, like we all thought these sort of glasses would work.



You're right about not blocking view, but what about attention?


The same that with smartphones, tablets, TVs and billboards.


What about the voice recognition? How can the glasses understand if you are giving a command or talking to somebody else?
