While waiting for Google’s augmented reality glasses to actually go into production, here is a video which showcases some of its potential uses. The current design concept of the glasses looks like a terrible April fool’s joke. Mainstream adoption will only come about if the tech is either integrated into a decent pair of glasses or can be unobtrusively retrofitted onto your current pair of spectacles.
