There are competition between many devices , specially DARPA which wants to create cheap, mass-produced mind-reading device and Google which announced that Glass '2' upgrade will work with prescription glasses.
Do think which one is realistic applicable?

Google Glass '2' upgrade will work with prescription glasses
Dorky-looking as it is, Google Glass is actually a very cool piece of tech. Problem is, Glass is kind of cumbersome if you wear glasses. You either have to wear contacts or double up with Glass on top of your prescription glasses. It's not exactly ideal. For those of you who wear glasses (myself included), Google's finally heard our cries. The company announced that any "Glass Explorer" (translation: Glass owner who lives in the U.S.) can have their wearable swapped out for the slightly newer model.

DARPA wants to create cheap, mass-produced mind-reading device
EEG readings are the basis for a number of consumer products which allow users to control objects with their minds. Thinker Thing, for instance, lets its user imagine and then 3D print creatures straight out of their imagination. But that's not exactly a military application of the tech.
Wha DARPA wants to develop — at least in the short term — is a tool for students who want to know how to read the basic states of a classmate's mind. But EEG readings as a form of lie-detection are already in development and DARPA does admit to wanting to send EEG headsets out with troops as part of a medic kit.
Once created, cheap and mass-produced EEG reading headsets could have an array of uses, especially when their data can be read with any smartphone. There's even the chance that they'll eventually be able to read your thoughts. For now however, that's all still stuck staunchly in the future, as the deciphering of detailed data from an EEG reading is simply beyond the reach of modern understanding of the complex math involved.
