Don't ask me for directions. I regularly wind up in circles in my own neighborhood, and I confidently send lost tourists north when they need south. Maps on smartphones have been a godsend, but it's annoying having to hold my iPhone in front of me when I'm trying to find an address.
Enter Glass, which sits eyebrow-level and has a tiny screen above your right eye, eliminating the need to stare down at your phone. Glass responds to voice or touch commands, and it answers back on the screen.

“OK, Glass, get directions to the laundromat,” I said.
Glass returned with nine options in my neighborhood, but it didn't include my standby, KT Laundromat.
“OK, Glass, get directions to KT Laundromat,” I said.
