Atheer Offers a Wearable Display That's Glasses, Not Glass
An anonymous reader writes "A new competitor to Google Glass was unveiled Thursday at the AllThingsD conference. Unlike Glass, it shows augmented reality content in 3D and is driven by hand gestures and voice input." Here's a video demo. If you think complaints that Google Glass is creepy have merit, take heart: these aren't for walking around with.
And I thought Google Glass looked pretentious...
It makes you aware of how insecure and inadequate you really are ... therefore it must be pretentious. Clearly this is the device's fault!
no its the fact that someone feels that they are so important they can no possibility be out of the loop for a single moment, not even to look at their phone, that they are willing to strap something on their face in order to let the world know how insecure and inadequate they really are.
I have to wear glasses anyway (and don't have the option of contacts). What's so bad about having some electronics built in to the frame that's already on my face?
it's not about being out of the loop or feeling inadequate. It's about using technology and making it work for me.
We had naysayers like yourself before cell phones were popular. It would be difficult to present a convincing argument that the advancement of cellular tech has enabled us to do things we weren't able to do before and that this has had a positive impact on quality of life. Wearables are merely the next step in this evolutionary process.
