		<description><![CDATA[<p>A few months ago, following a cyborg attack in a Parisian McDonalds, we <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/07/cyborg-attack-in-parisian-mcdonalds-raises-complicated-questions-about-wearable-computing/">predicted</a> that Google would be the first to market with computer glasses, but that Apple would take its time perfecting a beautiful, sleek prototype that would automatically become the emblem for hipness everywhere. Now, it looks like Google is trying to head off that theory by incorporating the Project Glass prototype into a New York Fashion Week show. Face computers are super glam, you guys.</p>
<p><!--more-->Sergey Brin continued his whirlwind tour of "Look, wearable tech is totally swag!" by teaming up with fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg. DVF <a href="https://plus.google.com/+dvf/postshttps://plus.google.com/+dvf/posts">published</a> a series of photos to her Google+ page yesterday showing models from her runway show donning color matching Project Glass prototypes. Models <a href="https://plus.google.com/107651756423687246963/posts/XmPMceaLvTA">recorded</a> video on the glasses while walking the runway, which DVF plans to turn into a short documentary that will <a href="https://plus.google.com/107651756423687246963/posts/gKs68S4xBsR">debut</a> on Thursday.</p>
<p>As it turns out, even beautiful models look a little silly in wearable tech--though we do hope when Project Glass <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/06/start-saving-your-pennies-google-glasses-are-coming-in-2014-says-sergey-brin/">hits</a> consumer markets in 2014, they're offered in that pretty salmon color.</p>
<p>Mr. Brin <a href="http://mashable.com/2012/09/09/google-glass-dvf-fashion-week/">reportedly</a> got a front row seat at the show, and even took a victory lap around the runway when it was over. It's no <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/06/google-hoping-youll-freefall-for-project-glass-stunt/">skydiving</a>, but we really hope someone recorded that moment.</p>

		<title>Wearable Computing is on the Rise, And Soon It Will Read Your Thoughts</title>

<p>Good news for Ray Kurzweil and his fawning, would-be immortal groupies: wearable computing like the Nike fuel band and Google's Project Glass are basically sentient technologies, so we should be merging our souls with robots any day now.</p>
<p>Network World <a href="http://www.networkworld.com/news/2012/082012-wearable-computers-261509.html">published</a> an in-depth look at the future of wearable computing yesterday, and apparently many analysts believe wearable devices will be a dominant industry within the next three years. And not only that, but technologies like vibrating tattoos and video goggles will eventually learn our basic wants and needs, predicting and serving our desires without us programming them to do so.</p>
<p>And so it begins.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><a href="http://www.networkworld.com/news/2012/082012-wearable-computers-261509.html">According</a> to an analyst at research company Altimeter Group:</p>
<blockquote><p>Our research around this sentient world has more to do with the fact that machines and environments will begin to learn over time instead of simply anticipating our commands or making our commands easier to input. We believe that during the next 18 months, we'll see more and more mass-market applications for multiple sensors on and around us that will take advantage of our omnipresent connected computers (mobile) to gather and communicate data and, in later phases, begin to proactively serve us.</p></blockquote>
<p>That means that you could be passing by a coffee shop while wearing Google Glasses, and your Glasses could alert you to the fact that it's around the time you usually like caffeine. Sounds pretty awesome to us.</p>
<p>Of course, there is a vaguely creepy element to all of that: "It will follow us wherever we are," one researcher told Network World, presumably before scaring the ever living crap out of the interviewer with ghoulish noises and gestures.</p>
