We shall see. 2 hour battery can be extended by plugging the unit in during use from what I read.

The fix they developed for people with glasses looks to be brilliant

Interesting vid...I've watched that guy before

Have to say though, as it stands, looks like a good way to fall through a manhole, or get "Vision-Jacked"

Looks like there might be a problem

This could lead some big “refurbed model discounts”

Come on...what's a little eye strain and discomfort when you are experiencing the finest that modern technology has to offer? Are we really becoming a nation of wimps?

Guy looks goofy as hell when he starts operating that thing by moving his hands. My friend in Cali always wants the newest technology I wonder if he will get one. I could not imagine that thing being more than an expensive toy.
What practical business purpose could it have? Can it do something a laptop or smart phone can't do? I think if I saw that guy in public I would steer clear of him thinking he just escaped from a state mental hospital.
