Wearable Internet Appliance
z)bandito(_X writes "Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT), Shimadzu Corporation, Colorado MicroDisplay, Inc., and Xybernaut Corporation are working on a Wearable Internet Appliance. Looks like it runs Win CE 3.0, but if the price is right it could be a big advance for wearables getting a big manufacturing name like Hitachi in on the game. It's an SH4 processor with Type 2 Compact Flash and an 800x600 display that works with glasses. A good picture of the pretty nice looking device is here, and the specs are here." This looks like a good way to seriously injure yourself. -
Even Tinier SVGA Color Display
erlkonig writes "For those intrigued by tiny displays, Colorado Microdisplay crams 800x600 into a 1.2cm diagonal, under 1g device. Jump straight to the blurb or just look at the pretty pictures. Remember, to get the little chunk of connectors out of the way, you can always mount it (or them) upside-down in your hat brim :-) " How close can the eye reasonably focus on things? That looks pretty nifty, but 800x600 at 1.2cm is gonna have to be real close to those retinas. Still nifty looking. -

1280 x 1024 Heads-Up Display
Brian Porter writes "Mini monitor breakthrough! A US-based company called Colorado MicroDisplay hopes their new full-color 1280x1024 micro display will be on the market next year for under $300. Sounds great for heads-up displays for PDA's & stuff... " So we combine a heads up display, with a wireless network, and, and maybe a Twiddler.
