Project Glass to come in contact lens form?

Just as I predicted! Project Glass is now aiming for contact lenses which will have all the functionality of the Google Glasses we have seen before.

I actually think this will be one of the biggest things ever. Perhaps not in the first couple of versions, but eventually when it becomes user friendly and not make everyone look like someone wearing a VR helmet. The benefits it can bring to travelling, for example, is quite incredible. You would never get lost in a strange city, and you would be able to get the right bus/train/metro without asking for help or trying to navigate maps. Anyone who has been to Japan will verify this! To navigate the Tokyo subway is something else, especially if you arrive at Haneda Airport (well outside the main train lines which you find in city guides) and then eventually have to make your way to Narita Airport (on the North side of Tokyo). Quite an experience. Oh and I experienced an earthquake while in Narita!

I would imagine future versions of Google Glass would link your Facebook, Twitter, and all your iPad/iPhone apps so you are a walking machine. How useful could this be?

I also wonder if we will see cars made in the near future with intelligent windscreens which have the satnav built into the actual glass? Now that would be cool, as long as it doesn’t block the view for the driver. Mind you we will all have driverless cars in 10 years!
