Summary: With a mini-projector/camera around his neck, and coloured rings on his fingers for gesturing, a guy augments reality in technically impressive ways.
this guy is my friend and he always does some amazing stuff with the things we use daily and can never imagine how we can make them use in different way. hats off to you pranav.
I really like the ideas behind their system because it doesn't require the user to wear weird glasses and things. I believe we will eventually get to that point though, when such devices become much smaller and blend in with our everyday world. This offers a much more near-term implementation that I can see fitting in with the common person's lifestyle in the next 5 years.
I have envisioned a similar system for about a year now. Except it uses a semi-transparant display over one eye and a camera mounted to that. You wear a glove over one hand and you interact not with a projected display, which I find to be shockingly impersonal, but with a 'virtual' display that could handle depth as well.<p>A nicer way to interact with your environment, I'd think, especially as when processors get stronger you could handle an entire virtual 3D environment overlaid over one eye.
