Probably not the first generation of these devices. I can't imagine it would be of much use, plus I already wear glasses to see, so unless these can fit over my existing pair without looking stupid, I'm not wearing them.

Besides, what could they do? Take photos? Yeah, but the resolution would be about on par with that of a cheap phone. If I want to take stunning pictures, I'll use my Nikon Camera. Take video? Sounds cool, but the minute you walk the picture will become all jittery. Check the weather, check for directions, check restaurant ratings? I can do that with my phone.

The first generation of "future glasses" will be expensive, finicky, and will offer nothing a phone cannot offer. Within about 30 years, yeah, they'll probably be awesome and everyone in the developed world will have one, but until then, I'm not buying it. I'll wait for a better version.
