They're look brilliant because in a social setting like a bar or restaurant it will be really handy to see at a glance who is an annoying pretentious twat!

I find a mirror is usually adequate for that

Do they have some sort of built in detector then? Cool!

Don't worry, the wonderfully named "Glasshole" app is riding to the rescue.

Is that before or after the subcranial implant version?

There is no glass in the glasses. They were showing them on the one show tonight. They can record video for around 30 minures. They aren't very good at translating another language Into English, but that is probably down to the apps used. Don't think I'll be bothering with them.

They never mentioned that part.
