Sure, viewable eyewear (such as that made by
Vuzix) might look like fun, but even with the display balancing on the bridge of your nose you need to find a place to wear that video source. What our man Pascal Brisset did is design a Linux system around a
Gumstix Overo Fire computer-on-module, a Vuzix VR920 head-mounted stereoscopic 640 x 480 display (complete with 3D tilt sensor and 3D magnetic compass), WiFi, and Bluetooth modules -- the whole shebang resides in (and on) the eyewear, just the thing for secure
telepresence and augmented reality applications (or just extra-private web browsing).
And he did it all for under a grand. In order to implement his design, Pascal had to design and custom manufacture a digital-to-analog video converter board using direct-to-PCB inkjet printing. As
Hack A Day notes, one can easily question the wisdom of "a pair of microwave transceivers and a LiPo battery strapped directly over one's eyes and brain," but that's the price of progress, right?

*AIRTHRUSTS* >:D
Metaverse here we come! Wooo!
The price of progress is too high, in this instance. :|
This goggle representation of Linux could not be more accurate.
Like plane crashes with 300+ passengers are to Windows.
Hmm brain tumors AWESOME! But seriously who wants to live forever? This could mean a bright (albiet short) future for people who want to actually be SUPERMAN humping WONDER WOMAN and LOIS at the same time..
He is that fast.
And how do you plan to get a brain tumor from non-ionizing radiation? The only danger here is possible burns should the battery decide to go wacky-wacky... But, that's the price of progress...
I think he should have put a camera on it. That way he could make his desktop show what the camera see or play games with it.
There's no room for the strip of masking tape in the middle.
That's not silly - that's just Dorky.
I've designed this with a beagleboard and eyewear for under $600. One of the big problems is the damn glasses. They only accept VGA in, and the boards don't. Other than that, you can put this in a pocket instead. And get some translucent glasses. Makes them slightly less cyborgish.
it-s not silly, just awfully put together
This reminds me of Arrested Development:
