Mobile phones are bad enough but at least they're visible. The thought of people using these glasses for texting & goodness knows what while driving terrifies me. Roll Eyes

The glasses can record a video where you go & things like that.

But I can't even figure out how you would select things with them. Undecided

I gues it would use something similar to trackIR but you have to look at something for a second or 2 to confirm you want to select it,but then,you wouldn't be able to see where you're going. Grin
