There's been quite a bit of chatter about an iWatch and an iTV, but I've not seen a lot of talk about Apple releasing a competitor to Google Glass.
Personally, I'd love to see Apple take this and run with it, not because I want a pair of Apple glasses, but simply because it will totally piss on Google's beloved project and go some way to paying them back for allowing the smartphone and tablet clone makers like Samsung, HTC etc. to use Android for free.

If Apple does, I would hope they use Loewe's Technology Apple did hire an OLED expert, but apparently Samsung is developing this technology also. I believe Samsung worked with Loewe on their product. Imagine a heads up display without the projected image.

I'm not a fan of tech glasses. I'm completely biased though since I wear glasses and hate contacts.

There is, but data infrastructure needs to get an order of magnitude better for reliability's sake, and mobile SoCs still have a ways to go before everything is a smooth, Hollywood-movie-style data layer over real life.
I still wonder if Apple will focuses AR efforts on the lowest hanging fruit (read: iOS devices) before going wearable. Though it'd be comparatively easy for Apple to make earbuds the new "data shades" (wireless, even) rather than actually go the "computer glasses" route if you know what I mean. If anything, that just shows the comparative fallacy - or is it necessity? - of Google going the "compromised dork" route. No confidence a Google-powered device - or compatible Google-powered device - will be there to feed the Glasses?
