This looks ridiculous.

In fact, it does not. That's perhaps the best thing about the designs currently shown - they look like something a normal, even attractive human being might wear in public. For the first time, I'm starting to take this project seriously. The key, of course, will be the integration with the environment and the internet. But if the project dies, it will leave a good-looking corpse!
For me the key is making them inconspicuous, or at least look like normal glasses. I can't imagine adoption if they're bulky or have logos on them.
Unless the logos are from Armani etc. Glasses already have logos on them.

Just got a new pair of glasses. Currently there are Nike, Adidas, Harley Davidson and Armani (among many others). But the multi color Google logo...not so much.

The geek side of me wants you to be right...but I really don't think women will want to wear this "dork tech".

How many women do you see with bluetooth headsets?

Plenty? In public there's definitely just as many women as men. Though I don't see too many around here in total :p
I meant that the whole notion of a HUD interface built into my glasses looks ridiculous.
