Designer Glasses With Microdisplay Unveiled
An anonymous reader writes to tell us about an Israeli company, Lumus-Optical, and their nicely designed eyeglasses featuring twin microdisplays and mini projectors. They will be demoed at CES in January. From the article: "The firm's latest prototype boasts dual 640 x 480 resolution displays as well as two wee projectors on each arm; the Lumus glasses can accept video inputs via an undisclosed connection, and projects an image akin to a '60-inch screen from 10 feet away.' Its Light-guide Optical Element technology allows the imagery to be reflected back on to the lenses so users can view them, all while being transparent enough to allow you to focus on the humans, trees, road block, or board room presentation ahead of you."
...they do something!
Yet another way for people to get into car accidents, fall down stairs, and walk into poles!
/whisper/ Thanks for the candy!
when I can go buy a 60" widescreen plasma tv and sit 2 feet away from it?
Undisclosed? What, does the input jack require lube or something?
"...So you see, the electrical impulses are carried along the central nervous system then back out through the epidural layer near the magnet on the glasses... "

How about "Look at the stupid glasses that guy's wearing!"
Dewey, you fool! Your decimal system has played right into my hands!
I need glasses that give me an image similar to watching a 23" from an armlength's distance
If you mod me down, I *will* introduce you to my sister!
...they do something!
Can I get a date by wearing the goggles? Or can I get a girl to date me by her wearing them? Or can I date the girl in the picture? How do they work exactly??

What's the scouter say about his power level?
It's over nine THOUSand!!!!

I was going to say that, at least with this type of display, you won't get any idiots chucking their Wii controllers at their 60" plasmas... But then I thought that, if you're stupid enough to do that, you'll be stupid enough to swing the nun chuck around and smack the crap out of your face and the glasses.
