The advent of a device such as "Glass" could significantly contribute to the evolution of navigation and GPS systems. Currently, drivers must shift their gaze to a small screen on the dashboard, drawing their attention away from the road momentarily. A glass-type device could improve this experience. However, designing such a display to be functional without impeding the user poses a considerable challenge to user experience. Nevertheless, this challenge is not insurmountable.
Computer vision technology enables a range of possibilities, including facial recognition, barcodes, and QR codes. A hypothetical use case in which law enforcement officers wearing a capable device can dynamically access relevant information on any vehicles they inspect may seem like a concept from a science-fiction movie. Suppose a vehicle has outstanding tickets or is involved in an ongoing crime. In that case, the device could highlight the car in red, immediately notifying police elsewhere to be on the lookout. This process could occur in real-time without the officers initiating a query, providing substantial value.
