Mini Projector + Webcam + Mobile Net = portable augmented reality interface.
Imagine Microsoft Surface/iPhone ... anywhere.

That is pretty suite!
Took a break from the Liverpool match to watch the whole thing.
- I'm glad of it - I'd've been horrified had this dropped off the page, uncommented.Nairn
- Ridiculously exciting to think where this could be in 10 years. More so if we can imagine contact lens displaysNairn
- Indeed. I think it's insane what my g-ddamn phone can do - I'm glad there are geniuses out there not content for anything short of what is currently fiction.flavorful

To be fair, they're merely charting the same course of all human progress by standing on the shoulders of giants, as Newton put it.
This is the prime benefit of a well-networked open source movement - by employing techniques developed and made available by their peers, developers only need work on the specific deployment of their own principle or abstraction. Any one of us who is dedicated enough and appropriately technically proficient could build a small team and pull something like this with a bit of legwork. Ok, that's a tweak of an exaggeration, but really not much. When the rate of technological change rises as exponentially as it as the moment, it's possible to ride many waves forward.
That said, if that one Indian dude put the bulk of it together.. phwoa.

everyone loves shiny new tech. but it's really pretty shitty.
first off, the second you put that thing on, you'll blind the shit out of anyone that walks in front of you.
imagine a room full of people wearing this. it'll look like a fucking genesis light show.
second - as smart as these inventors are, they just can't grasp the concept that human hands are not meant to be held out in front of you diddling empty air. that shit gets played out real quick.
figure out how to interface at waist level and i'll be impressed.

i loved the watch on the arm part!!

Wow, that was pretty awesome. Sure, it's easy to look at it and think there's not much use for something like that - but people have said that about a tremendous amount of tech inventions over the years. I could see this thing being made very compact or woven into fabric.

I will watch this as soon as I can, thanks for the link. I should send you the thing I wrote for that tech mag, by the way. Its a total puff piece but I', sure you'd be right behind the sentiment

fantastic. this is precisely the type of technology that will emerge from this depression/recession/obsession in a completely streamlined form.

wow. want. wantwantwantwant.

I watched this one the other day, seems relevant to this in a way, and I reckon you'll enjoy it anyway (if you haven't watched it yet)
