    How about a highlight function to pick my kid out of the crowd he dove into?

    How about a “yellow brick road” to follow when I want to get to the Emerald Castle?

    How about highlighting and magnifying those street signs that never seem visible enough, or house numbers as I approach my destination?

    How about highlighting dangers, warnings, because I’m paying too much attention to my phone and roll my ankle on that damn protruding gas valve every time around the block?

    Or, most importantly for those of us who can never seem to focus on the social aspects, how about a pop up bio for the person I’m talking to so I can remember their name and where I last talked to them?

      How about absolutely not? I don’t need every random jackass I interact with having information about me available at a glance. This would be abused in so many ways

        It’s true that people always seem to find a way to misuse technology, but then you’re stuck with my lack of social skills, not remembering your name, or what we talked about last time I saw you

      This was actually one of the first uses for a Google glass like product proposed back in the 80s/90s.
