I'm failing to see how you've made that jump? How does recognizing words, translating them and displaying the result compare to mapping a naked body from only uncovered skin? at best, you could get the correct skin tone on a model.

Oh certainly it wouldn't be an accurate representation, it'd have to just "guess" with a generic model transformed to closely match the position/shape/skin tone of the person. Anyway, didn't mean to get off topic (or sound horribly creepy!), it's just that there are a million "interesting" (in good or bad ways) apps that people will be playing with once they have these powerful, programmable devices that can filter/overlay their view of the world in real time. It will be a fundamental change in the way people interact with the world — whether you're wearing them or not, if this catches on, many of the people around you will be. Right now we all have a pretty good idea of what other people are seeing — in most cases its roughly what we're seeing, just from a different location; in the not too distant future, that may not be so.

Staying off topic for a just a bit more, one obvious example would be to automatically give everyone you see a moustache. An app was on Hacker News that does this within the past month. People interested in developing these filters can start building them now by creating smart phone apps and then port them over once Glasses becomes available.

Forget about LCD/LED displays. This is more like an LSD display. You could have all sorts of weird/random stuff overlayed so you're always walking around like you're trippin' balls.

What people seem to be forgetting is that Glass isn't augemented reality -- it's a display that sits in the top of your vision, not over all of it.

... not yet anyway.
