All they really showed in the skydiving stunt was that they were wearing head-mounted cameras.
(I worked for a guy who was doing this in the 1980s, with ~50 pounds of equipment in a backpack, a 5W radio transmitter on his head, etc.)
Isn’t that the description of any smartphone available for a few years now? Remove the screen and you can shrink it almost at will.
Project Glass is interesting, I’m curious about the display tech, but this demo didn’t show anything new.
Then why hasn't that happened yet for a few years now, you think? Maybe your assumption "you can shrink it almost at will" is a bit simplistic?
I have been doing that with my phone for a few years.
Also, look at the part of the glasses behind the ear, now look at any recent smartphone teardown and see how they compare in size.
I’m sure Project Glass will eventually be interesting, this demo was really cool, but hardly a technological achievement. You can do the same thing by strapping a phone to your helmet.

Yeah... you don't see any technical challenges going from the latter to the former? Sounds like you made up your mind a "years ago" when this apparently already existed.
You don't sound like someone interested in having a conversation. Have a good day.
But when Apple copies Android's notification center (which has now been massively bumped in JB) that is a huge thing and everyone is up in arms about what sort of geniuses the people at Apple are.
Sure.
Live, two-way audio/video-streaming from AR computer glasses during a freakin' parashoot jump over regular cellular networks however, that is not really that much of a big thing?
Excuse me. What standards are you applying to whom where?
