Not sold on Google Glass. These however are the bomb... played with them in the field. Can display infomation just like an aircraft HUD that us ex-military used to look through. Used it in a Ground role as a TACP during a demonstration and they work great. Check out the attached video, and you can imagine how they can be used to iterface with FLARM, Navigation, etc as to whatever heads up capability you need. Even watched a movie with them. You can focus on the movie, or actually see through it to know what's going on--that would onstruct vision too much while flying, but that's not what they'd be used for (I hope...). From an email:

"ODG X-5 Biometric Glasses. These are Glasses, not Helmet Mounted Devices, that were designed with the "Every Soldier: A Sensor Concept" in mind for real world ops. However, due to the fact that they have a HD (720P) heads up display built into the glasses, I believe they are well suited for full immersion into Virtual and Augmented Reality/live constructive training environment. Currently our prototypes have the ability to display a virtual 24 inch screen at 18 inches distance in front of the viewer;
-Originally designed to collect voice and facial biometrics data
-They currently have 2x 1.5 Ghz CPU in them.
-The Glasses weigh approx 4 oz.
- the X-5s are bluetooth and Wifi with built-in GPS and AGPS


Our the plan is to reach out to industry partners, to work with them to satisfy customer unique requirements.

This link is a video of my client talking in front of the DARPA director last year. I think you will find it very interesting.

Just passing it on.
