Ok, interesting. Thanks for sharing your application/use case with us.
The private part is geek/fun.
The professional part seems research at the current point. I wonder how much "stress" the eyes/brain have with the permanent exposure to google glass. I have zero experience with that and no clue how that feels, e.g. haveing google glass on for a full working day. I wonder how much ergonomic this is (tired eyes that fail to focus in the evening, dried out eyes since lid movement is disturbed (i.e. due to constant "staring"), headache, ...?). Maybe you tell use sometime in an article on CP
Cheers

Granted, even a cell phone is really only a convenience, and I did without one for quite a while. Yet it does help solve the problem of my wife and I having to determine who will pick the kid up from school.

Does it count if I first buy smartglasses and smartwatch and then I donate these items to charity or cancer reserach or whatever?
Veni, vidi, vici.

Because, I don't know if you intended or not to include the smart goggles into the equation?
I have a basic set of Transcend GPS goggles with Recon-Instruments HUD from a few years back, and looking to upgrade to the newer versions.

I've already a smartass and there's no more room in the budget.

I bought one of the first iPads and not one person noticed it. After 9 months it died. Complete waste of money.

Somebody will someday realize that people don't want to be turned into cyborgs. I find the idea of wandering around continuously plugged into Google an abhorrent idea, smartphones are annoying enough as it is.

Smartwatches have been out for a little over 10 years (having some obscurity with Nokia here) and I, personally, don't think it's a good idea to own something that can be snatched off your wrist at any given time. (There's a very high crime rate here, so I wouldn't take my risks at all with one in the first place)
Smartglasses unfortunately leave me very weary of others' privacy, which I respect in due regards. I don't wear glasses, either, so I don't see a use for it.

then fix.this
else !fix.this

You might want to read Crossing the Chasm[^] from Geoffrey Moore[^]. We are still in the first phase of this technology and nobody knows if it will be adopted by the majority. Maybe never. Not every technology makes it, no matter how much money you put into it. If you can't think of a reasonable use case for the majority, you never get anywhere.

I suggest you read thar book and re-think what you said. A niche is also a market. If you can make enough money from that niche market, fine.
You mention several critical applications (medical, air traffic, etc.).
These markets are the worst laggards at all: very much regulated (BTW for good reasons) and it's huge effort/investments to go into that market. Not the technology but the prove that it does not cause any harm in any circumstances to anyone: the whole infrastructure must obey that regualtory requirements: your wireless communication, your energy supply, your backup if no communication/no battery in the middle of something, your database access and integrity, ...
For that niche market, you don't need to do adds in the public - there are conferences for that.
Or do you see adds for endoscopes with super cutting edge technology in enabling whatever diagnostics or surgery, etc.? No.
The smartwatch is something else: it's clearly targeted to the mainstream, not the niche. Same for google glass. Cross that chasm from geeks to the majority and you are the hero.
BTW: As you easily found out, I'm a laggard in the meaning of "Crossing the Chasm"
Cheers
