This is a wonderful example of how technology can improve lives. There's a huge way to go between "reading out whatever you're looking at" and "being a helpful assistant", but this does help show the potential.

Brandyn, I ended up shipping my Glass back last week. I wish your team and you the best of luck. As I have said, I am not sure Google Glass is the correct vessel for my apps, but you guys are really onto something. If they happen to send me an 'invite a friend', I'll toss it to your team. I will be back in IRC in a week or so, still moving into the house! I'm still designing ideas for that 'Location aware meets Zelda meets Motion Detection meets Rest/turned based' Glass game.

This is amazing. Just think how much good it will do once the technology is perfected.
