I agree. The title of the patent, at least how it's being picked up in the press, makes it sound threatening to the Google Glass, but I doubt the actual description of the patent would describe Google Glass. I think Google already has a bunch of patents like these:

I remember reading a few posts like these about Google's new patents for Google Glass.

The independent claims of the '859 patent (1 and 17) both specify stereoscopic displays. Inventions can only infringe a patent if they, at a minimum, include all the elements specified in a patent's claim.

Google Glass has a single display. It can't possibly infringe.
