Per datakoll:

"The biggest triumph — and to me, the biggest surprise — is that
the tiny screen is completely invisible when you’re talking or
driving or reading. You just forget about it completely. There’s
nothing at all between your eyes and whatever, or whomever,
you’re looking at.

And yet when you do focus on the screen, shifting your gaze up
and to the right, that tiny half-inch display is surprisingly
immersive. It’s as though you’re looking at a big laptop screen
or something."

Sounds like things are going to get even worse
driver-distraction-wise.

its expensive therefore limited to an intelligence bracket often carried by the other groups..

I assume the device increases at desk production

less as a bicycle toy

surely it’s Google Glass."

Actually, in the mid-1970s, someone was marketing a 24x80 ASCII terminal
fastened to a sort of helmet.

Is it an on-line compliment to call someone a Net Wit ?

Well, then, it must have been very safe! ;-)

Don't remember whether the ad showed it.
That was half my lifetime ago.
