Google’s megafuturistic Glass goggles has had folks abuzz over the possible applications of the technology, with lots of talk and speculation over how it might be used. Budget airline JetBlue has taken it a step further by creating a series of mock-ups of some of their ideas for how Glass will revolutionize travel.

The images show real-time updates on parking availability, flight status, fare estimates for those arriving without a ticket, a map of available power outlets in the terminal, and baggage claim information. In essence, most of the signage and information boards at the airport could be superseded by specific, individualized information directly to the traveler.
