Looking into the Future?

So much for Rosetta Stone:

"The device uses character recognition to turn any sign or item in Japanese into the user’s first language. The first language of choice is set up at the start, similar to other technology devices. The translation will be instant as soon as the user looks at the sign. There is no need to quickly search on a translation app, or hope that Google gives you the right meaning via a smartphone.
The translation will appear over the top of the sign, so the user will know what is being translated. "


I could use this feature:

"Another aspect of the Intelligent Glass is facial recognition. It is connected to a smartphone directory, and will look up the information you need on any person in front of you. The Glass uses facial recognition software to compare features against the pictures in the smartphone to bring up the name and company that the person works for."


Not yet available in stores, but wow...

You just know they'll have all this in contact lenses or optic implants one day.
