Google Glass, but you can’t tell if someone is wearing it.

How long before they decide to sell advertising space? Can you imagine never being able to get rid of an ad?

I think it's cool and would be a big help for folks with these kind of vision problems. Until such time as we develop a nice visor:

I have hard contact lenses.

Every time you blink, they reorient themselves and move around a bit. Not a problem for a lens per se, but could be a big issue for a lens with an integrated display as a vision augment.

Maybe if they intend to surgically implant it...

If your visual apparatus doesn’t work, you will see nothing.

Better to develop a system that uses a video camera, artificial intelligence, and earphones to keep a blind person informed of the world around him. THAT would be a good use of technology.

The same software that is used in “self-driving” cars to navigate, can be adapted to what I just suggested.

Merge it with GPS and you can create a self-navigating system for the blind. It can warn him, in words, of obstacles, curbs, holes in the ground. It can tell him he’s approaching a corner and to stop. However, I don’t trust any software to keep a blind person safe crossing a street, given the irresponsible way many people drive. Used in buildings, it can help a blind person get around more easily.

Sad to say, the Mojo Vision invention will most likely be used for game playing and “virtual reality.”

This could be the most important advance in vision care since the Opti-Grab!

Just wait until it reports back to Big Brother when you’re in the polling booth and it tricks you into checking the D box.
