<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 4015286, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m really, <i>really</i> looking forward to good head-mounted/eye-mounted displays. I just hope I can preserve my vision long enough to use them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look down at a coin on the table. The eye-tracker on your glasses identifies which point on the coin you&#039;re looking at, and focuses the front camera at that exact distance.</p><p><br /></p><p>You move your facial muscles just so, and an overlay of the coin replaces the real image in your field of view. A different facial gesture zooms in or out; as you look at different parts of the zoomed image, the camera maps them back to the coin in front of you, and tracks its focus accordingly. If you&#039;ve put in the time practicing, you can use other facial gestures to adjust brightness and contrast, maybe even enhance or mute color. You won&#039;t even think about it, you&#039;ll just do it automatically, by reflex.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you see something interesting, tap your teeth lightly to take a photo, annotated with time, distance, scale, lighting characteristics, and point of visual attention. Clench your teeth ever so gently to record video as you turn the coin. The glasses know where to put it so you&#039;ll be able to find it later.</p><p><br /></p><p>We already know how to do most pieces of this, it&#039;s just that the hardware is bulky. But we all know what happens to electronic hardware bulk once a market develops...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
