Olympus’ new Head Mount Display (HMD)
Tech-On presents an interesting article on a HMD (Head Mount Display) prototype by Olympus. This system allows you to acts as a Eurofighter Typhoon or a F/A-22 Raptor pilot without getting airborne and getting out of your suit.
To explain the system briefly: it projects information on your glasses (normal or sunglasses). The goal here is to project everyday use data like train schedules or the arrival of an email or whatever else you might want. We can imagine a system that incorporates a database with information about the city and that gives information about the area where you are situated, possible hooked up to a GPS system and a system that detects what the eye is looking at. ( add in face recognition and you could spot Britney Spears )
Technically speaking, you get an 0.16″ LCD with 113000 colours that weighs 27g and is attached to the frame of the glasses. After some testing, the prototype users did not feel uncomfortable wearing the device. So if Olympus is looking for more guinea pigs to test this, we would like to volunteer.
