Glasses w/ Captioning

I was reading a tech magazine the other day, and read about how research scientists are working on personal captioning for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, one being glasses with captioning. A user would be able to read text right off a 30-gram mini monitor that clips on to her glasses. The text will reflect from the glasses and appear to float.

Isn't that cool? Imagine walking around wearing one of those captioning glasses, and whenever someone speaks to you text will appear right in front of you. You're living independently without an interpreter present...
