I agree with the second bit. I don't with the first. Should i mark you up?

I think it is awesome if you have glasses like that.. a computer type backpack with a gun attached to it..

so you could play in any location in the world with your friends and bots. I mean the army could pick this up as a training gadget.]]>Jan 8th 2010 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/Jan 8th 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/
Completely agree...... Next logical step for a ton of things......

I don't think this device relieves the user of the necessity for a "backpack" to house the computer that drives this. This is just the peripheral - it would be up to other manufacturers to develop more reasonable platforms to do all the processing and jank.]]>Jan 8th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/Jan 8th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/Jan 8th 2010 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/but they totally stole this of me.. although my idea used an old webcam, and would use a pico-itx.. and loads of AA cells.. and.. you get the idea]]>Jan 8th 2010 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/
Automatic comparisons and prices when shopping, directions while riding a bike right over my vision, detailed information about people you meet or have met before, google goggles right over what I'm looking at. I can think of a lot of different ways something like this could be useful enough to overcome the fugly factor.

It's a personal HUD, just get a PC behind it (or a droid phone connected via bluetooth) and you can do quite a lot with something like this. I remind me of some of the tech the military uses.

The price though is a little steep for me. I'll wait until they shed $500 of weight.]]>Jan 8th 2010 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/Jan 8th 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/

Yes, they should hide somehow the optics.

Also, instant porn. That's more of a tv thing, though.

I wonder if they'll actually release this one. There seems to be a lot of vaporware in the AR/VR category of gadgets.

As someone who is probably a little too obsessed with AR... I have to say this is kind of an understatement of its possibilities. The camera allows not just reality and computer-generated imagery to "blend", but it allows the computer to interpret reality and produce images accordingly. Imagine blending this with the kind of spatial recognition software NASA or Honda or Sony are putting into their robots; finally, I can be Robocop.]]>Jan 8th 2010 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-video-eyewear-can-you-afford/
