Heads-up displays are one of those technologies we know will eventually make sense, but seem persistently not ready for prime time. I roll my eyes every time I see a new set of video glasses coming to market. So apparently did this AP tech reporter when he saw MicroOptical’s new myvue goggles for the video iPod. He was especially skeptical of the company’s claim that you could actually walk around and do things while you’re watching. He started out testing the device on the couch, but before he knew it, he was happily watching The Apprentice while washing the dishes and ironing his shirts. Hmmm… starching the collars on your Oxfords while watching Herr Donald and The Apprentice? There’s gotta be a level of hell in here someplace.
