The good news: Google has started testing those augmented reality glasses<\/a> we heard about earlier in the year. The bad news: if the artsy shots of the test units are to be believed, they won't make you look like some '80s cinematic anti-hero. In fact, the things wouldn't look too out of place in a New York Times<\/em> style story. The software giant let it it be know that, while it hasn't quite got a sale date on the wearables, it's ready to test ProjectGlass in public, amongst the non-augmented public. The company is also looking for feedback on the project, writing in a post today, “we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input.” Want some idea of what ProjectGlass might offer the public? Sure, it's not quite as good as strapping a pair on your own eyes, but interested parties can check out a video of Google's vision after the break.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Somehow I can't see myself wearing those thing around, but hey, that's what everyone said about bluetooth earpieces. At first you were a dork, now you are a high-tech businessman. Bring it on Google!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
