Wow. Mind-boggling possibilities. Why would you ever NOT want to wear this:)) This is HellVen, no doubt:)) The challenge is no longer the technology (well, some of that remains), but how it will change who we are (i.e. social, cultural, ethical).

Be sure to read this review by ArsTechnica, as well. Some excerpts:

The person was helping me wire up a light switch (and it seems that, yes, it was a real light switch with real mains electricity running through it). My assistant saw the world through my eyes; I saw him on a floating Skype pane that I could pin in place, where his head would remain….A Skype demo was intriguing.
