Another thing that I've thought would be cool is a standard ground-glass with built-in micro wiring and micro light sensors in a grid. This would result in a grid of tiny dots on your glass, hardly more obtrusive than gridlines, but a small computer attached would be able to meter your scenes in several modes, like a SLR.
I am all for manual metering techniques and very much enjoy my light meter and figuring exposures, but such a metering glass would redefine the metering back concept and be especially useful for commercial and product work where exposure is critical and time is limited.
But I would hate to see traditional techniques lost to a device like this.
And it would suck if you broke it.
