For instance, the camera must have very low noise levels at big aperture/high sensitivity settings. Of course, the CCD resolution has to be rather exorbitant in order to really deliver "augumented reality" and not "compressed reality".

Oh and for it to really work out, you better carry around all knowledge and media of mankind with you. A 16 x 1TB disk array in your backpack should make for a nice starting set. Of course, one could use wireless for data acquisition. But where would be the fun in that.]]>Mar 25th 2009 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/]]>Mar 25th 2009 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/]]>Mar 25th 2009 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/Mar 25th 2009 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/Mar 25th 2009 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/
I will definitely be purchasing this item, and until I do, I shall enjoy fantasising about how awesome it will be. Obviously it's going to be a 10 frames per second, jerky, jittery, badly calibrated mess but still...

One major problem as G said, is there's only one camera. So... it's hardly going to be an augmented reality now is it? I mean... they've taken virtual reality style headwear, designed for immersive stereo imagery, and turned it into a device for making real life two dimensional.

Cheaper option: eyepatch.]]>Mar 25th 2009 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://eyetap.org/

640x480 @ 16bit colour... no thanks. ]]>Mar 25th 2009 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/Ofcourse I must say that I also would like to see higher resolutions, 1280x720 per eye would already be extremely awesome.. the only negative thing I can think of with the VR920 is it's yaw tracking, it's awfull..
So I'd rather have them concentrate on getting better 3d tracking and higher resolution instead of designing these IMHO dumb addons..

But then again, they haven't got any real competition at the pricerange they sell the VR920..]]>Mar 26th 2009 5:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/]]>Mar 26th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/Mar 25th 2009 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/25/vuzix-dips-toes-in-augmented-reality-makes-video-eyewear-cool-a/

At http://www.orangedwarf.com one can observe the Camera Glasses. Also Video Glasses there!
Use these Camera Glasses in combination with snowboarding or simply to record yr favorite moments.
