I mean, I -get- the novelty of what they are doing, but big inputs, for what should be easy tasks (like knowing the time) should not take big gesticulation. ...that's way too playschool to be an effective '6th sense.' (as they call it.)
fwiw, personal augmented reality has worked pretty well using sort of 'heads-up' glasses for the last decade, plus.
btw, would you really want other people seeing your projection on some acquaintances shirt? I mean, like the TP, what if you have notes that the guy is a big ass-wipe?

The tablet as we know it was "playskool" at one point early in its design evolution as well. One has to ignore the given examples of uses for a technological concept like the one in the video and apply an outside of the outside of the box perspective
heads up glasses are a great stepping stone along the evolutionary path of data/media interaction these devices have served their purpose but technology is racing forward with new concepts that will replace older ideas.
a little honesty wouldn't hurt anyone would it??
I too think the examples of the application/uses of the concept are goofy as well. Think of it like this- Its a hardware/software concept that needs refinement and good apps, etc.
