Yeah, real cool, and useful!
Look at those screenshots. The restaurant has a text label superimposed over it, so the wearer can just read the label instead of the sign above the restaurant! No more messy reality for me!

What about the stuff you don't want to know? Here are some things I wouldn't like to know about someone I walk by in the local mall:
Bisexual, but won't admit it
Enjoys viewing squirrel porn scenes
Works for Microsoft
Has severe case of explosive diarrhea
Etc...
I like the diminished reality.... (Score:3, Funny)

Think about it. Why should only those who are willing to suffer the effects of shrooms for days, or LSD for years, be the ones who get to see bleeding walls or leaking phones?! With a helmet around your head that filters your video and audio input (err, vision and hearing), you could have all the trippy hallucinations you wanted, when you wanted! Is that girl really wearing a purple elephant on her necklace, or would she be offended if you tried to feed it a peanut? Are there really bugs crawling into your skin? Better ask the piano!
What a time to be alive!
