Details of the mysterious device were revealed in FCC filings that were published on 1 July …

      It would seem that the context-sensitive adbot in use around these parts has decided it stands for "GiffGaff".....

    No, no, not the kit; the ""request for confidentiality" missive".

    Perhaps it's going to be a monocle this time with one of those Bluetooth earpieces that bouncers wear.

    That should avoid the 'Creepy Effect'.

    What's going to take time is shaking the now-entrenched perception of Google Glass as Spywear.

      A4R is AAAAR and it'll look like a black eye-patch.

    Spy wear is already in full view with things like Pro 4 ..... selfie sticks linked to the cloud, face recognition and geo tagging.......all sorted now.....way before glasshole is released to the masses.

    Head Tissue Simulating Liquids

    Looking through the documents filed with the FCC, the image on page "11 of 11" (after which comes "1 of 13") in SAR Appendix F makes it look more like a bluetooth headset than a new version of Google Glass. It's definitely a wearable device: the FCC application is full of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) test data. SAR Appendix D is a document containing tables of material test data for variations of "Head Tissue Simulating Liquid" and "Body Tissue Simulating Liquid". Notably absent from the documents available online is Appendix A, "SAR Photos & Ant. Locations", so perhaps the FCC is trying to comply with Google's request to keep the key bits secret.

    Wouldn't the incorporation of X-ray, telescopic and night vision lenses not make the concept slightly less creepy? The look could be complimented with a new Google branded dirty mac.
