Technologies 4: iArm
In the interview with Claire Boonstra from Layar the idea of Augmented Reality glasses or even contact-lenses was proposed as a certain future. According to Claire the question is not whether we will see immersive AR vision, the question is how soon. It seems she might be right.
While we might still have to wait a little for the contact-lenses, Gizmodo shows us some stuff from ARE 2010, the big Augmented Reality Event in the U.S. where Tanagram Partners showed the world their army Goggles. This is just one example (using transparent OLED screens, pricy stuff) but my guess is we will start seeing alternatives that target the consumermarket soon. By the way, Tanagram Partners have announced that the iPhone version of their product will be ready in 2011. Consumer war supplies? Only in America.
