Amazing if and once it works, yes. Their current YouTube clip looks like a mockup: "Starbucks located, entrance is on 1 o'clock, 40 feet away". That is really tough to realize. Google Glass cannot tell distances other than based on Google Maps, but Google Maps does not know about entrances. Other elements in the video also look implausible given the state-of-the-art in computer vision.
Hey Kevin- sorry you cannot make it to ISTAS13. You were the first person I thought of when planning for keynotes after Marvin Minsky- you really were instrumental in pushing veillance as a domain, as soon as you embraced uberveillance... http://www.kevinwarwick.com/ http://www.kevinwarwick.com/
Folks, we have a run on tickets and they are fast going - if your in Toronto Canada on the 30th June and have any interest in 'skynet' (ps. or coming to ISTAS13 to meet Matthew Schroyer then perhaps it's time you grabbed a FREE ticket and joined the crush at Ryerson - more info here - http://uberveillance.com/uav-pros-cons
Simply amazing! Facial recognition on the fly, ID objects, doors, bus numbers. Terrific use of Google Glass
