NY Times:

If you venture into a coffee shop in the coming months and see someone with a pair of futuristic glasses that look like a prop from “Star Trek,” don’t worry. It’s probably just a Google employee testing the company’s new augmented-reality glasses.

On Wednesday, Google gave people a clearer picture of its secret initiative called Project Glass. The glasses are the company’s first venture into wearable computing.

The glasses are not yet for sale. Google will, however, be testing them in public.

    As much as I enjoy StarTrek and all the future advances foretold by science fiction writers; the idea of having a radio transmitter broadcasting constantly right next to my brain and my eyes is a bit scary. We still don’t know what cell phone radiation is doing to children’s developing brains. I’m assuming these glasses will be actively communicating with cell towers which means they will be constantly exposing the user to radiation. I will reluctantly pass on this one.
