Presumably inspired by the fancy eyewear from Dragonball, Google's Project Glass (wiki) has been getting a lot of attention amongst nerds for the past many months (and a few years?).

As you might guess, these are glasses that include similar functionality to an Android smartphone, presumably interactable via voice commands (sorry, no worthy brain scanning technology exists yet), includes wireless capabilities, a camera and an obvious place for a display.  The current aim is to have a consumer version by the end of this year, with prototypes already in the hands of some third parties.

Being Android, one of the more exciting prospects are what apps could be designed for it.  Though currently, it is expected to have at least the following abilities:

• Weather and time display
  
• Take pictures/video
  
• Integration with Google Maps, Search, Hangout, Translate and Now (Google's version of Siri?)
  

On the other hand, if you thought Twitter caused way too many people to be texting on their phones, wait til VideoTweet gets popular...  And privacy concerns anyone?

Google more recently released a video showing the experience of Glass

Do you think you'd get one of these once released?
Is there any app that'd seem cool on this thing?



Whilst Google is aiming for computing in glasses, rumours have it that Apple is working on a "smart watch".
