Re: I might be interested
You clearly didn't read the post at all and just had a canned complaint against Google Glass, maybe you should find a Google glass article and post it there.
This device connects to a windows PC and allows 3d 'floating' UI interaction, ala pretty much every recent sci-fi film. It isn't a portable device like Google Glass.
Dell TVs
just a minor correction. Dell doesn't actually make any HDTVs,.
Not to say they couldn't with their industry connections from their monitor business, but if you follow that link to dell you will see other manufacturer's TVs being sold by Dell.
Seems pretty logical that it will as ICE is also supposed to include googleTV in the unification and it is Intel based.
Logistics,
It seems to me that one of the greatest advantages of this type of system comes with logistics. If a unit were to run out of fuel there are options to 'limp' home as opposed to being totally screwed.
As solar technology develops it may be possible to equip these with an array large enough to provide emergency power. Likewise you could have a portable battery pack that the soldiers could bring to the closest mains line to recharge and power the vehicle.
Simply opening more options on the battle field seems to be a great idea. That being said I think they would be better served with a traditional hybrid approach of both engines being able to move the vehicle than their diesel generator eclectic engine approach. If the electric system goes out it would be nice to have a trusty old deisel system to run on.
