That's quite interesting. I wonder what they look like?

I want them in oval frames.

Remarkable. I want some! Actually, I can also think of some people to whom I'd like to give them as gifts.

Wow.That was interesting. On one hand, a way to better understand those around us.

On the other, just another way of making us all the same. The article discussed a past experiment using similar technology that identified individuals that spoke too much or too little. After several days, the majority had all become very similar. Let's homogenize. That should make the world much less interesting. I think I would rather stumble my way through the social minefield then be "coached" into being just like everyone else.

It would be interesting to see how good these glasses are at reading an aspie.

And I wonder how easy it would be to fool them.

Twenty years in the future ASD will be known as Autism Spectacles Disorder... which is to mean that your glasses have run out of battery!

But seriously, this is kind of interesting and kind of scary at the same time... Seems like these only will work if you are actually looking at the person though since the camera is on the glasses. I know sometimes when I'm talking to someone I might be looking at something else. Then again maybe it could tell you when you aren't looking at the other person too.

Ohhhhhhh, can the glasses also tell me what to say and do? Maybe an earpiece that spits out instructions. I'm sick and tired of doing any work during social interactions. I wanna a free ride in every area.

yes, & i want some headphones on them that automatically block the sound of dogs barking & children crying; & when some other car crowds me on the street, they'll send a signal out to that car's computer brain that causes it to move farther away.
