Heads-Up Display Embedded In Glasses

Reminds me of star wars.

I think the display glasses would serve as a better display option for the Sixth Sense gesture interface mentioned in the Invention Rewards. For one thing, there would probably be fewer difficulties with sunlight overpowering the projection abilities. Also, spectacles keep information more discreet than a portable projector would.

Makes me think of the scouter from dbz.

exactly, the scouter for DBZ!!!
I want one just for that, a working replica, VEGETA WHAT IS HIS POWER LEVEL!!!!

IT'S OVER NIIINE THOUSAAAAAAND!

antic:
I totally agree. I thought the same thing when I saw the article. And as they progress towards the things like direction overlays on streets, I'm sure they'll find a way to incorporate a camera on the front to sense what you're seeing beyond the "screen" which would eliminate the need for the barcode scanner, ect.

I've honestly been hoping for this technology to emerge somewhere for as long as I can remember. It would have so many practical uses! Not just for doctors or engineers, but think of collision avoidance for drivers, or a convenient hud for airline pilots!

I think this is cool, but is it practical, can the viewer be able to read the small print if it is that close to the eye?

I don't think you read the article very carefully Undertech. The image is projected directly onto the retina. You would not be reading text from the surface of the glasses.

Like most new technologies or improvements in the technology, just the fact that it is viable will allow many others to come up with uses for it, usually where not readily apparent.

Too Cool!

Love this tech tool but can see it also as a tool used to limit free thinking and creativity. Sorry but that's my thoughts.

Wait till the pron industry gets a hold of this one...

Would this be able to create real 3D pictures and movies if both retinas were projected onto? Given the fact the quality of the display is projected in high definition? Hollywood would have a ball!

this could be a hazard possibly.

you could be texting with ur eyes instead of watching the road while driving.

Wow, look very cool, but can it harm our eyes?

wow! that's so cool! I have seen a website before, there is a similar description.http://www.firmoo.com/

I am sorry, I put website and the error, it should be this http://www.firmoo.com/

This is insane. An effetive, lightweight, and durable transparent virtual overlay interface could be used to make video gaming console-less, and even hybridize scenario warfare with console gaming. You could see Live Action Role Playing Games become the wave of the future, you could overlay virtual enemies and effects onto every player's HUD. You could become an active participant in a hollywood movie if you wanted. You would see all new levels of advertising taking up the blank spaces in the world. It would eventually be impossible to escape the virtual world, and unnecessary since the real world would exist side by side with the virtual. I'm investing in this, if they can make it work it would be revolutionary...that is if someone else doesn't effectively steal the technology or one up it.

I could see mechanics and electricians using these for their job. I'd be able to stay at the plan instead of leaving, searching through 28 pages of schematics, going back to the plane, and then back to schematics just to find where one wire leads in and comes out.

Like most new technologies or improvements in the technology, just the fact that it is viable will allow many others to come up with uses for it, usually where not readily apparent.

foxy

Hmm! I would like to see heavy endorsement from the medical and health system, before I promoted or sought to use these. Many people struggle with poor eyesight due to the excessive use of the computer age and this appears to take the strain a little further again.

Although this appears fabulous. I feel that it will be really bad for eyesight. There is enough challenge with eye strain without adding it to your eye glasses. I would welcome some professional response to this content.

I think the glasses sound very cool, I could see how they may be picked-up by the gaming community for a more immersive experience. As per the above comments, I would be wary about prolonged useage of the glasses and how good they are for your eyes.

Can hardly wait to use as a crib sheet at my next college exam:-)
