Good news for those of us with imperfect vision.
We, like everyone else, have a lot of questions about Google's Project Glass. Though Google this month invited people to share feedback based on a video that showed how the product might work, Project Glass is still in development, so we don't know an awful lot about it. Still, it seems the search giant is eager to set the record straight on at least one issue that many people seem to be wondering about, and that is whether or not those who already have glasses will be able to use the Google specs.
Google's Isabelle Olsson today confirmed that it's working on several ideas when it comes to using Project Glass with prescription glasses. Google apparently saw this question regarding compatibility for glasses-wearers more than once following its request for feedback.
"Here's a question I saw a few times: 'I use prescription glasses. Will this work for me?'" Olsson wrote. "We ideally want Project Glass to work for everyone, and we're experimenting with designs that are meant to be extendable to different types of frames," she explained. "Many of our team members wear glasses, too, so it's definitely something we're thinking about."
Olsson posted the photo above to show how the device might work with prescription glasses but it sounds like Google isn't even close to settling on a design for the bespectacled masses. That said, it's nice that the company is thinking of us.
If you missed the April 4 video from Google that shows how Project Glass could be used in everyday life, check it out below.
I think Google is painting a cool vision of a future device... but it's a fair distance into the future (5 years or more I'd estimate) before device size gets small enough, resolution gets high enough, battery life gets long enough, and price gets low enough to provide a viable product in this market.

As for being distracting and dangerous, sure, just like billboards and hot girls can be distracting and dangerous.
Google ads? Only a moron would think that what Google wants to do with this technology will in any way limit what will actually be done with this technology. I think the impact of these glasses will ultimately be the replacement of other types of displays as well as creation of virtual interfaces. The mobile stuff, it won't be that important. I doubt many people have to look at a map while walking, any more than they do now. Same goes with video chat, it just isn't done that much on phones that have the capability.
These glasses are about turning your entire field of vision into a high quality "retina" display. Everything other application of this will be peripheral.
Wild i am driving then AD pop "Hi this is Verizon. And we are going to kill you wild you driving please watch this video"
Internet base device are good but we - customer need protection from does ad company.
If google can handle this well lol
lol just kidding !!
You pervert.
If so, then go buy their stupid glasses. That crap is available right now.
Right. Because a bunch of jerks on a random internet forum are thinking of this and the people at google creating are totally going to miss it. Yup, they're going to allow popups in your face while driving.
What a bunch of deluded tools.
