Nerval's Lobster writes "Google seems determined to press forward with Google Glass technology, filing a patent for a Google Glass wristwatch. As pointed out by CNET, the timepiece includes a camera and a touch screen that, once flipped up, acts as a secondary display. In the patent, Google refers to the device as a 'smart-watch. Whether or not a Google Glass wristwatch ever appears on the marketplace &mdash; just because a tech titan patents a particular invention doesn't mean it's bound for store shelves anytime soon &mdash; the appearance of augmented-reality accessories brings up a handful of interesting issues for everyone from app developers to those tasked with handling massive amounts of corporate data.For app developers, augmented-reality devices raise the prospect of broader ecosystems and spiraling complexity. It's one thing to build an app for smartphones and tablets &mdash; but what if that app also needs to handle streams of data ported from a pair of tricked-out sunglasses or a wristwatch, or send information in a concise and timely way to a tiny screen an inch in front of someone's left eye?"http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Google+Glass%2C+Augmented+Reality+Spel ls+Data+Headaches%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FUFZwtq) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmobile.slashdot.org%2Fst ory%2F12%2F10%2F03%2F2045241%2Fgoogle-glass-augmented-reality-spells-data-headaches%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Df acebook)http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/12/10/03/2045241/google-glass-augmented-reality-spells-data-headaches?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
