I don't want augmented reality.

I want a face mounted terminal overlay to go with my keyboard pants, and display my todolist, and occasionally allow me to SMS with my friends with my phone in my pocket.

I realize it's not what most people want, but I have the virtue of not caring even a little bit how (much) stupid(er) this will make me look.

The audience for this technology exists, but we're huge nerds.

Somebody needs to make and sell us this thing, and we will test it for them while figuring out if there's a use case for normal fashion conscious people.

And yes, we almost all wear glasses, so make it a clip-on or something.
