I think it's hilarious that they're holding a contest to win the privilege of BUYING a pair.

That said, neat stuff. Not sure yet if I must (or want to) have, but the underlying tech is pretty astounding.

Wait...are you constantly reliant on your glasses to autofocus your own sight? That's **** up. Autofocus isn't the fastest or most responsive thing in the world.

Edit: Ah, wait, I see. Their promo video shouldn't show stuff going in and out of focus, then.

That's the video recorded from the glasses... Would you prefer the camera not have any type of focus?

Technically, I'd prefer it implement light field technology. I don't think we've mastered getting it into a space that small yet, but it would be the best option for an implementation such as this.

How had I not seen this sooner? Why didn't you tell me!?

I'm not sure we can be friends anymore, if you keep this kind of thing from me.

I thought I had! I thought it was one of the coolest things ever and went through a phase of posting it everywhere. :)

Hmm. Maybe.

I suppose, if we can write this whole incident off as a product of my negligence to watch Facebook like a hawk, we can let this slide.

This time. You should know better than to assume I see anything on Facebook. ;)
