My understanding is that this "see through the vehicle" capability is built into at least some helmet-HUD/Helicopter combinations that the military has.

If it suffices for an attack helicopter, I'd say that the idea probably has serious potential for automobiles as well. I wouldn't expect to see it come to standard consumer cars yet, but for commercial drivers (particularly truck drivers who have massive blindspots) this could be invaluable. Imagine being able to see through the back of your box truck while backing up!

Yep, that's pretty much what I'm thinking. It started all with thinking how terrible of an idea it would be to wear this while motorcycling...

Someone at Google with access to one of the self driving cars should see what this would 'look like' from a passenger perspective with the data.

Feasible to cross dev with glass? Hmmm... I think I have a new project to work on!

I've joked that the ultimate tech hipsters need to use the Rift + Glass at the same time to look at a virtual Pebble watch on their arm...

[khafra]

Only if they can get the code for that efficient enough to run on the actual Pebble on their arm.

[catshirt]

what purpose does Glass serve?

So you can see your tweets ;)

It's so other people can watch you seeing your tweets without being able to actually see your tweets.

The F-35 has six cameras embedded in the aircraft which project images inside the helmet, literally allowing the pilot to look through the airframe.

Maybe Erlang will finally get more popular.

I want to be able to see through other people's vehicles.
