Another Wearable Display
By john | May 29, 2006
Another company has announced that they’ll be selling head-worn displays (a.k.a video display in glasses). The company, Mirage Innovations, promises that its technology will “revolutionize the price and performance of personal display devices”. They also claim that their technology claims eliminates “cyber-stress” from the viewing experience (e.g. nausea, dizziness, etc.) that can be common from other HWD’s, by making the display one complete piece, instead of splitting it into 2 pieces (one for each eye) that must be kept in sync. From reading the website, the glasses/display are targeted toward video playback for devices such as a video iPod. Can’t really tell if it can connect to other devices, but it might be worth checking out if they sell at a reasonable price.
If only someone would come up with a reasonably mobile input device to be use with HWD’s, these diplays would really be useful. I’m expecting/hoping that will become the next big area of innovation.
