Sometimes not the best one, or on top of a fashion designers list of things 'I should work on,' but a fashion nonetheless. We gamers have developed what is our fashion from the times it was mixed with the whole nerd crowd, to the time we all was atuned to the tastes of the hipsters, now to our own. Now, unsurprisingly there are people, companies, that want to jump into our style and create for us some neat little toys. That is right, glass-tech.
Google is rumored to have a device that has a prototype of a pair of glasses that can work to do apps and such with them, but what was said it does not sound like you can do anything with them other than that. They apparently also do not have a business plan for the glasses.
Who else is on this fashion train? Microsoft of course, recently a patient has been found for glasses that will create truly augmented reality (so that they can see real objects AND the stuff that pops up). It has a lot of potential to be honest, with being able to run by itself and such. It appears there is two forms, a helmet and a pair of glasses. The helmet will probably be the best and the first one we see since it will have more room for fixes and what not.
The Google glasses should be released around sometime at the end of the year, but I doubt this very much. Microsoft has not said anything about a date or time, but who knows, when this comes out I will be sure to save up some to do a future review of the hardware.
