Google’s heads-up-display project, Google X, is certainly a head turning idea, matching up the kind of heads-up-display you’d associate with video games or movies with a real world of glasses that we’re told look like Oakley Thumps.

If Google’s Head-Up Display glasses and automated cars aren’t enough for you, here’s some good news: Google is pushing $US120 million into new construction projects, many of which will be home to secret hardware testing facilities.
Iron Man’s HUD display is one of the cooler effects in sci-fi movies, and Google X is apparently pretty darn close to cramming similar tech in a pair of glasses you can buy in the real world.
