Google's new smart glasses initiative "Project Glass" was revealed to some pretty genuine excitement, and even though the concept is a bit different from anything we've seen so far, their little video made it seem awesome and frankly inevitable. Of course, it glossed over some other things that might be less awesome but just as inevitable, things like running into telephone poles and accidentally sending speech texts. Tom Scott decided to make Project Glass a second video highlighting those "features" to hilarious effect. I think Tom might have a point, but I also trust Google, so we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out.

There have been rumors for a while, but now it's official: Google is working on a real-life heads-up display in the form of Internet-enabled smart glasses and calling the endeavor "Project Glass." Just as you'd imagine, the glasses aim to bring the web to you by overlaying an interface on your daily life and allowing you to interact with it via voice and eye movement. Aside from the confirmation that this is a project in development and a optimistic little "look how awesome this will be" video, there's not much more information available. Of course, that really just means there is plenty of room for your imagination to run wild.
