Rather neat stuff for sure. I'm concerned how meeting someone will go using this.

"Sixth Sense" will be cute marketing language but it really has nothing to do with the original concept.

Well assuming good face recognition software it will help people like me who recognize the face of someone they are meeting but have trouble putting a name to the face.<G>

Again assuming robust AI software know facts/external memory could be discreetly reviewed in a variety of situations.

The big problem I see is one more focus disturbing interface which needs to be carefully designed and worked.

What has been demonstrated in the last two years at TED, O'Reilly, and other conferences is basically mockups.

It should also be noted that so far most automobile systems for projected information have been a bust although this may be a matter of excessive pricing.

Hope this does not lead us to "Big Brother" 1984.
