"But make no mistake, this is absolutely the future."
Outside of niche uses already mentioned, I think this is a mistake to believe.

Imagine these in contact form that perform the same things. But also replaces your cell phone. You now see your messages when you want and can respond just by thinking (once we can essentially read your mind, if that happens).
Anything you want could be displayed there without having to check your phone or anything else. Obviously talking to it sucks but if it ever gets to the point where you can think something then this would be killer, for anyone.
Iono, seems to clearly be where things are heading. I don't want to type things to a person everytime I want to communicate with them, what is that? I just want to seamlessly send them a message I have on my mind and get back to real life. And this is the first step and whats possible now. But im sure they expect more.
I expect and want technology to get to the point where its not even noticeable. And these are what it is doing.

Brin has been seen wearing these for a while now. Why can't we see some basic software and interaction? There a lots of potential uses for wearable computers, especially one with a HUD. Even if all we can do is use it as another form of input/output for your phone or other devices.
As far as I can tell and google, all we saw today was a few stunts with people wearing little cameras. We'll have to wait until they start releasing the dev kits to see if there's actually anything to this particular attempt. Hopefully they will also have a product at the same time.
