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."

A way to watch porn 'in public' without being hassled by 'the man'. Better yet, can you imagine driving at 75 mph while your favorite 'artist' performs her special talent. Seriously, we'll look back to the 'good old days' when people were just distracted by their cell phones, and not email, porn, and shopping. Hopefully cars will drive themselves before 'Joe SUV' gets his hands on 'this'.

Efficiency

general efficiency of public transit This would be the definition of efficiency whick leads a public transit journey to take 2 hours, 15 miles, a change of route and a 30 minute wait in the rain compared to a 20 minute, 5 mile warm, dry journey in relative comfort.
