theatlantic: Quiz: Are You a True Tech Geek? Want to know if you’re a real, true tech geek? Not just an appreciator of the smartphone, or a connoisseur of the tablet, or an aficionado of the animated GIF … but a tried-and-true, to-the-core technology nerd? Here’s a pretty good test. It has only one question: Google X is the experimental lab that will soon be bringing Project Glass (street name: Google Goggles) to market. And it would like to extend the technology of those nerdy-chic augmented reality glasses. In an interview with Fast Company, Project Glass product lead Steve Lee mentioned the challenges of creating AR glasses that can fit every user — even people who already wear standard eyeglasses. The down-the-road solution, Lee suggested, could be the manufacture of virtual reality contact lenses. “At this point,” he said, “it seems like a natural evolution.” Here is the test. Is this (A) awesome or (B) horrifying? Read more. [Image: Google]
