Hmm, someone needs to build this into a pair of glasses.

If somebody builds this into glasses, I’m going to have to go around all day saying “I need your clothes, your gun and your bike”.
Terminator 2 Style.

If someone builds this tech into glasses, I’m sure william gibson would be pleased: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/virtual_light

OMFG – This surely *has* to be the killer app for the Android OS.
My personal pro/con scale vs WinMo may have just been tipped into Android territory.

It can really becomes something like Higashi no Eden (Eden of the East)?
Very interesting idea. Hmm I’ll need a new cell phone.

“hmm, someone needs to build this into a pair of glasses.”

I wrote a short story many years ago about exactly that, except the glasses were implants, and unfortunately very hackable. too bad I’m a shitty writter.

anyway, this technology is going to explode like crazy. google buyout in 3… 2…

“Simply aim your camera at a bar and find that two friends are inside”

So… this phone has a camera that is functional in anything less than full daylight?
How about battery life while camera & wifi/3g are both active?

I’m excited, anyway. :P

Perhaps not the correct site to mention this, but we need FEWER cellphones, not more. People on cellphones in cars are a huge hazard – at least down here in Florida. If every state outlawed using phones while driving with penalty of losing your license permanently, I would support this. Until then, I say delete these apps and stuff and go back to black-and-white(green and black?) phones that just make calls, and maybe have an alarm clock on them.

@m4cgyv3r, yeah we should go back to the green and black cellphones that just make calls. also the internet should be restricted to universities and government agencies. and the printing press sucks too.

i just used this on my g1 for about 5 minutes, and it rocks. i have been waiting for this thing to come to america and i am so excited it did. i see myself using the ‘eat’ layer a lot on road trips. this tech has some crazy possibilities. really cant believe this is free. augmented reality rules. next thing ya know, this will be in glasses, then contacts, then implants. then we get cyber brains a la ghost in the shell and shit starts to really get crazy.

@M4CGYV3R
How about you just don’t us it when your driving? Maybe it the norm in Florida to drive every where by your self but in many other places we walk or travel with friends in the car.

man am I sick of hack-a-day’s add whoring, give me a hack a day not “our sponsors paid us to ram this down your throat”

Posted at 2:40 am on Aug 21st, 2009 by mem.namefix

yes I’m pretty open to what hackaday does, but if I see many more adds where legitimate hacks used to be i’m gonna have one less bookmark to click -many times a day-

-vote with the withdrawal of your clicks people-

it’s the only thing that the people/company/whatever at this point running the site will ultimately be influenced by:

the bottom line

@M4CGYV3R,

In the states it may not be outlawed, but in most of Europe you can loose you license if you are on your phone while driving. In some countries, speed cameras also take photos even if you are not speeding. If you are seen with a phone, you will get a nice letter in the mail and a summons to court,

@m4cgyv3r,
blaming cell phones for this is like saying guns kill people. Its not the phone’s or the technology’s fault that stupid people go around driving and texting/talking on the phone.

why the hate? it’s a free app. I have been playing with it for a few days and it seems pretty darn cool. definitely a wow factor to non-smartphone people.

Posted at 7:02 am on Aug 21st, 2009 by maslow

no hate for the app, just a growing dismay at what appears to be hackaday’s increasing lack of focus.

Posted at 8:54 am on Aug 21st, 2009 by strider_mt2k

Okay in all seriousness, why the hell isn’t this on WinMo also? I mean damn, if i was a major company and wanted to spread my application, I would definitely make it available to all platforms.

..oh well. I guess if worse comes to worse, i’ll just install Android on my omnia.

Um andriod had this for nearly a year now.

When Vodaphone does a Mee-Too it’s suddenly newsworthy?

@Darkzero

How many winmo phones have gps and magnetic compasses in them? I’m going to guess maybe one, but it’s probably closer to none. just waiting until October to get rid of my winmo phone. hopefully the hero will be out in the states by then.
