Patent watchers have uncovered a filing from Google which goes into some heavy detail about future developments of its Google Glass project, with the company registering a dual-HUD system that uses a laser alignment tool to keep the graphical overlays in the right spot above both eyes.
These lasers will guide a set of “mechanical actuators” that are embedded inside the nose bridge of the specs, creating bizarre, self-adjusting, motorised specs that would automatically adjust themselves to keep the output correctly orientated. Google Glass’s current one-eye overlay is simpler. Two overlays will send our brains haywire unless properly synced.
The patent allows for the mechanical tuning to happen when you put the specs on initially, or could be used continuously throughout the day. Are you ready for a world in which having little whirring motor on your face is the norm? [Patent Bolt via PhoneArena]

Not sure I want lasers anywhere near my eyes (or glasses that look like like Joe90 might want them back
Absolutely more than norm, can’t wait.. can’t wait!
It’s not gonna take off, people don’t wanna wear this shit, it makes you look like a knob, nearly as much as those hands free people.
Other peoples mileage may vary.
Speak for yourself. I would.
I wear glasses anyway as do many people. I’d definitely wear these.
Jarvis? Is that you?
Ha!
If they’re mechanical actuators this small, I’d be willing to be they’re going to be solenoid type devices, with no motors or noisy bits.
If they’re not solenoid based, I’d best get down the patent office…
I would get a set of these seeing as they would be able to cater to my obvious blindness, and function like batmans computer. I would also probably get it to call me batman just for full immersion.
Lasers? Mechanical actuators? This will eat any battery they can fit into the frames in about an hour
As long as the glasses look reasonable, offer virtual keyboard that you can type on any surface then it could be the next thing. Wave goodbye to the computer and the phone, everything in one place. If a white wall serves as a projector screen then you have video playback. Wave goodbye to television, cinema etc.
