You're going to have a hard time deciding between those and these: http://www.google.com/glass/start/

In my opinion, the Jets look cooler in a Borgian cyborg sort of way, while the Google Glass may be more comprehensive.

Agreed.

Need.

Want.

Now.

Best,

Dan.

Stick-on bifocals, Andre. That'll fix you right up...you and me both!

Best,

Andre...you get your wish. According to the article (pg 2)...
Quote
Linking a GoPro or Contour camera can provide streaming video to anyone following a Jet wearer; and you can even give yourself a rear view by mounting a rearward-facing camera and connecting it to your display.

Best,

Dan. (...who is thinking the Jet could be combined with Google Glass to make a wonderful gadget that would break one's nose with the weight of it all)
