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.

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.
