I still think a google glass for people that do wear glasses would be great, I already spend the entire day with this dumb thing in front of my eyes, would be great if it was smart too. The problem is that they marketed glasses for people that don’t need it.
My favorite idea for augmented reality is the ability to overlay historical photos of architecture. To see the world as it was 10, 20, or 100 years ago.
If only they could figure out the privacy aspect of having something recording video on your face.
Back when I played the game I was putting in a couple hours a day for a little bit. One morning I woke up to my cell phone alarm going off and I reached over to shut it off but it was out of reach. In my not very awake state, and having been spending so much time in VR with the gravity gloves on, I pointed two of my fingers at my phone to “tether” it and started flicking my wrist to “pull” it to me, just like in the game. It wasn’t until it obviously didn’t come flying through the air to me and I started getting frustrated that I woke up enough to realize that sleepy me is incredibly stupid and you can’t make things fly through the air to you in the real world.
im really surprised there isnt a hat form factor smart device. imagine a baseball cap with a HUD display mounted upside down in the brim, plenty of room for batteries and weight balanced.
i’m a simple man: i just want 108 keys split into two panels on a vest. USB-A connector would be fine, maybe even ideal. i’ll jack it into the system i want. i guess it would need a killswitch or something.
Keeping it clean, I think I’d want hotshot contact lenses, that could provide clear vision in all conditions plus when asked, project for me readable information as though there was a page in front of me. And modes like magnification.
If NSFW allowed, I can think of a few more that would be nice to have. But given the choice, still would prefer the super eyes.
I want the earring stud connected to a personal Ai like in Enders Game. The author (Orson Scott Card) called her Jane.
Of course in the book she was completely connected and insanely intelligent so made him in riches beyond belief while he was doing things like space traveling. Nice side feature.
I built myself a HUD using a VuFine LCD and a raspi Zero W. It runs a custom TUI I wrote for myself that provides an interactive terminal session surrounded by configurable text widgets.
Currently, I have widgets configured to display the date/time, the weather (near-term and week), and CPU/Mem utilization. With the main display running my combined to-do/calendar app to help keep me organized.
It’s tacky as hell, bulky and exposed wires, but I love it.
Earphones/buds that don’t slide out/off your ear and that you can lie down on, without pain or discomfort. That also have good sound that don’t leak and easy to use controls that don’t get accidentally triggered.
