I'd say give this technology 10 years (maybe less) and it will be at a level we would today consider sci-fi...
More information is just what we need right? I won't delve into the potential positive or negative ramifications (there are arguably many on either side) but merely from a geek point of view this is super cool stuff.

oh hell.
So this thing functions as a reaction to brain waves or hand gestures or both. I guess I didn't quite understand where the information was being referenced from. For instance walking up to a person on the street and retrieving information about them. Is this done manually or as an effect of particular brain patterns or as a effect of reading the "chip" in the other person's being?
Well no it is nothing quite that cool. It is like a cell phone connected to a remote database and the projector also has an electronic eye with a very advanced optical recognition software programmed to know when it is for example looking at a book or a barcode sticker on a cereal box or various hand gestures. No brain waves are involved except to remember which hand gestures the things will recognize. I could see the projector for example being replaced with special glasses which would act as your monitor and be less, well, goofy looking and much MUCH better looking than projecting a calculator onto your hand.
OK, when she was talking with her Belgie accent about "toilet papers" this video entered the realm of comedy for me and I stopped paying attention to the technical aspects. What can I say, I'm that shallow, yes.
Yeah I laughed at her tree hugging as well.
Sigourney Weaver is looking pretty bad these days...
ha!
If she is insists on wearing the shoes, she should buy pants that are long enough.
