Sensible eyeglasses:

I just want my glasses to do three things:
  1. Auto-focus accurately on whatever I'm looking at, regardless of distance.
  2. Let me take a picture of what I'm looking at, and post it on the web.
  3. When I see people, do facial recognition (aided by sites like Flickr) and show me their names.
I've been waiting for these features for years. I still hope that some will arrive in my lifetime. And one of them is close: Pixel Optics' Empower is a pair of glasses that can auto-focus for you. (I heard about them, courtesy of Leo Laporte, at CES.) Now, where's that wirelss connection inside my eyeglasses?
