Google Glass in the cockpit?

My developers have been using google glass for a month or so now. I have tried them for a couple days. Google glass is all about google search services and google application integration. It is nice but has a long way to go. Remember the first Android phones?

The "interface of HUD glasses" would be a great interface for soaring pilots (and power pilots) who are still capable of adapting to new technology (clearly a fraction of the total). HUD is the standard for military pilots and commercial pilots in the most modern aircraft. Pecking at a PDA is, in all honesty, a fairly poor way to go. I personally invision the glasses HUD being an extension of a panel screen system such as LX 9000, SeeYou, XC Soar or even ClearNav. The glasses HUD would compliment the regular display rather than replace it.

It would be fairly easy to write a soaring computer application such as XC soar or even SeeYou into that interface.

And based on the pace of innovation I have seen (little to none in some manufacturers such as Naviteer, tons in XC soar and LX) I am guessing that it will not be long before one of them offers something like Google Glass.

There will be many HUD eyeglass manufacturers if Google Glass is initially successful. And I would say its almost assured that google glasses will be a massive hit for Google.
