The E-Panion lifts the burden of lugging around gadgets all together. The E-Panion flies/hovers in the general vicinity of the user, projecting fully interactive holograms in midair or flat video-like images for smaller, more confined spaces.
There's still time to enter our Future of Magazines contest over on Facebook, where you could win a Samsung Galaxy Tab. That is, if your ideas for the future of magazines is on par with some of our favorite entrants so far. See those in the gallery below, and find more info on the contest over on Facebook.

All of these are great so far, but the ones that hover out in front of you need to have a some sort of privacy option. Maybe the projection is a a certain IR frequency, and your classes let you pick up that frequency. That way the person sitting next to you isn't as likely to be nosy.
Personally I think that the ones that display out in the real world are nice, but totally unnecessary. If you have a way to display directly to the eyes (glasses, contacts, implant) then you can see anything you want without it being projected anywhere. And you can connect to other people through a wireless network allowing them to see what you are seeing if they like.
@tcolguin I agree 100%. Popsci showed some goggles that shoot a tiny projector right into your eye so you can see real time gps location and things like speed and altitude. it is only made for snow boarding goggles. but I want to buy some for my motorcycle. its perfect for the road. Why project something in front of you when it can already be projected right into your eyes for a REAL HUD.
