Heads-Up Wearable Display

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the before-I-can't-walk-any-more-please dept.

selfsealingstembolt writes "Looks like the guys at NASA are trying to combine some existing technologies into a wearable computer. At the moment it is designed as headset combined with a small box to wear at your belt or so. The interesting part is, that they are looking for new technologies at outside sources (companies, educational institutions, ...). The design is still subject to change, but the general idea is great."

    How is the original post modded up as insightful while the parent is (-1: Offtopic)? Did the moderators sprinkle some extra crack on their corn flakes this morning?

    The parent is a reasonable post, you morons.

  11. ATTENTION POSTERS ABOUT MY SIG by SkyLeach · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    My "two cents" (i.e. $0.02) will ALWAYS be worth more than your "two euro cents" (i.e. 0.02).

    It's a joke and a prophecy which I put on my sig after 9/11. I knew last year that the euro would be worth more than the dollar before this year was over. I knew when I first heard the word euro that one day it would be the standard currency of europe if not the world, and that there would be pollitical pressure put on all countries to adopt it exclusively.

    It's been prophesied for almost two thousand years in Revelations that the world would eventually all use one currency, and so it doesn't surprise me at all.

    What is surprising is that so very many people tell me I need to change my sig just because the euro is worth more than the dollar now. My sig would never have been funny if it had stayed under the dollar.

    So laugh, you anal-retentive freaks of nature. :)
