AR Glasses: Coming Soon To A Face Near You

On business trips, Pete Jameson gets odd looks from fellow airplane passengers when he's in his seat typing on a keyboard with no screen to be seen.

But Jameson is looking at a jumbo-size display, thanks to augmented reality glasses that project images for his eyes only. His headset looks like slightly oversized sunglasses and what he sees is not visible to others.

Jameson is chief operating officer of ODG, one of a host of companies pursuing the emerging market of augmented reality, or AR, glasses.

"I travel all the time and one of the cool-use cases for me personally is the ability to slip on a pair of glasses and wear my tablet," Jameson told Investor's Business Daily. "I can work on a plane with a rollout Bluetooth keyboard and get on Wi-Fi on a plane. Now I have a 100-inch screen that behaves just like my tablet does, that's totally private. Nobody can see what I'm doing."

Today we have information at our fingertips, but tomorrow it could be right at our eyeballs.
