Now remember that this is an advert for a glass manufacturer. However the technology on display is pretty cool.
Think about the technology that would need to be embedded in the glass as well as the networking technology that is used.
As a counter point though I would like to offer another series of choices. What about projector technology?

Or Augmented Reality Contact Lenses?

All this technology is quite a way from everyday use, but 20 years ago (1992) students didn’t have mobile phones, no one had the Internet in their pocket and the World Wide Web was one year old.
How long would it take these technologies to be put into every day life sir?
A lot of it comes down to cost. We already have Electro Chromatic Glass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_glass and the projector display is a prototype.
I would say we wont have to wait too long for the technology to be cheap enough to afford.
