Glasses so cool, you won’t mind looking like a tool

Too cool...for the 80s

Arnolds data display had everyone seeing Red -- just like Rambo.

Remember the cool ‘data display superimposed over line of vision’ used in the Terminator movies? Well, the real world is about to get a whole lot cooler than that, you just have to pay a small price — your self-respect.

Lumus is coming out with uber-shades they claim will let you do the following:

Enjoy a TV show or video alone, at home or on the go

Catch the news while on a break

Never miss a broadcast of your favorite sports

View critical content (emails, text messages, attachments or Internet) inconspicuously during meetings

Give a speech without looking down at notes

Watch stock tickers throughout the day

Play a video game anywhere in 3D or VR

All with the ability to overlay the visuals transparantly in your field of view as shown in the two examples below. Check them out and imagine the possibilities — as you could probably figure, these are not on the market yet. Could this be where eye-wear meets vapor-ware?

You can read incoming TXT messages on the go.

GPS technology says you have to walk through this guy to get to your destination. I recommend a body blow and right hook.

As soon as they come up with a wireframe version (so I don’t end up looking like my dad), I’m so getting a pair!
