How about this: When you're giving a PowerPoint presentation, all your notes for the current slide are shown in the glasses. Perhaps even the upcoming slide?
If you liked the Spinning Cube of Potential Doom and AfterGlow, you should check out NetGrok at http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/netgrok/. It allows real-time analysis of a live packet capture and is released under the BSD license on Google Code. It was presented at the VizSec 2008 conference on security visualization.

The TrackIR is the little brother of the SmartNav by NaturalPoint, but both of them aren't nearly as good as a Headmouse Extreme by Origin Instruments or the Tracker Pro by Madentec.
The first two cost around $1000, and the SmartNav costs between $200 and $400 but my favorite by far is the Headmouse Extreme. It and the Tracker Pro work on any machine just like a USB mouse, while the SmartNav doesn't work with Linux and requires special software.

Bullshit. See the UMD policies on university ownership of faculty sponsored research products: http://www.president.umd.edu/policies/iv320anew.html

Oops. Darn Dragon and the slow copy and paste functionality. The link for the Kinesis Savant Elite footswitch should be http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/fs-savant-elite.htm.
I developed tendonitis in both hands two years ago, and there are a number of solutions I've found. The HeadmouseExtreme by Origin Instruments http://orin.com/access/headmouse/index.htm, the Tracker Pro by Madentec http://madentec.com/products/comaccess/tracker/abo ut-tpro.html, and the SmartNav by NaturalPoint http://naturalpoint.com/smartnav/products/at/at_ov erview.html are all head pointing devices that use near IR to track a reflective dot you stick on your head.

I use a Kinesis Savant Elite triple-action footswitch http://orin.com/access/headmouse/index.htm to do my mouse clicking for me.
