Telepathy One, like Google Glass, has a wearable camera and a projected display. But the internal tech hasn't been clearly explained, and it lacks eye-tracking.

Telepathy One aims to be sleeker and less intrusive than Google Glass. Does this do the job? Hard to really tell the difference.

A concept design of a thinner version of Telepathy. Paging "Star Trek."

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
