So if I'm understanding this right, the glasses themselves don't have much to them, just a display and communication (with a phone) system? This would save a load of bulk and allow you to deal with the set-up and all the other fiddly bits on your phone basically freeing up the glasses to only display useful information. To me, this is a great idea and I don't know why Google didn't think of this considering they're heavily involved on the mobile side of things.
You know, Google glass was always something I thought was cool but impractical and that I wouldn't end up getting it but I can genuinely see my self using this.
The only thing that I can image taking up a bit of space is the battery, and that is fine. If I was going to wear this, id need to make sure it lasts at least 24 hours of fulltime use.
Personally I'd sacrifice half of that battery life to make it as thin as possible. As long as it gets through a day comfortably, I can always charge it at night.
The future is here!! Amazon prime air and this..
