I'm another new to wearables person. I'm wondering if any of the afore mentioned are viewers that are fairly transparent. What I mean by that, is do I look like the borg that have arrived, or is it a semi-normal looking pair of glasses, with a ghost image being displayed on one eye. I'm having a bad feeling that this transparent viewer is a holy grail that hasn't been found yet. Is it true, or not? Can I have a wearable, and not OBVIOUSLY be wearing a wearable? TIA!
