Journal Suki I's Journal: Gogs in reality

Some neat tech here

According to insiders at Google, glasses that run Android are being developed that allow the wearer to see a Head-Up Display. The glasses have their very own 3G/4G connection, meaning they can potentially replace a smartphone. Navigation is also novel and requires head movements such as tilting to perform actions. Thereâ(TM)s sure to be voice control too.

If that doesnâ(TM)t sound futuristic enough, Google is also embedding a camera and GPS into the glasses. By combining the two it will be possible to enhance what the wearer is seeing. Your reality will be augmented to point which direction you need to travel in to reach a given destination, or which shops have deals on you may be interested in.

Almost identical to the "gogs" from the Suki series (that I helped with as a character developer and proofreader). Later, in a fanfic story I wrote, the visual part became contacts and audio was through earbuds inserted deep in the ear canal.
