Now way I’m wearing that while riding my bike! It’s dangerous enough out on city streets without an electronic gadget blocking my view and giving me tunnel vision.

Very neat, though. Just not at 45km/h.

From the site:
“What you do next is up to you. I looked around the web and found a few AR programs and tried them out. Best is probably Camspace, as with this you can control your pc with your hands! I used an EeePC, this way I could wander around my house with the pc in my backpack.”

I would suggest the AR plugin for Sketchup (there is a trial, mind you, it shuts off after 30 seconds… After which you can turn it on again…)

Also check out ARToolkit for great GPL AR library.

Yea, needs at least 2 cameras for 3D view, and mabye selectable IR filters for that Predator feel.

i agree, the delay from the webcam would be dangerous in the real world…
however used in a AI world like on a workout bike machine would be cool…
and i agree with

“Why completely block vision when you can project augmented reality data onto tinted frames?

if you could project on tinted lens that would be the best bet for the real world

@Wraith

That’s exactly what I was thinking. But I was also wondering if one could make such a hack look a neat as this does. These glasses don’t ‘look’ like they’ve been altered. It would be difficult, I think, to make regular tinted glasses not look rigged.

Now all thats left is for someone to make a 3D shooting game to work with this. Just think of it you could be walking around your house/backyard shooting at monsters that dont really exist :D

Hmmm, pretty sure I mentioned something like this on April Fools Day, Get your Own Ideas Foofoo….

The output video isn’t necessarily going to lag. Sure, the augmented overlays will lag as GPS/magnetometer readings are pulled in and the data is overlayed in some fashion. However, when it comes to your interaction with the world around you, the real world takes priority and the metadata takes a back seat. The Droid, even with its measley 550 MHz processor and paltry 512 MB of RAM, still manages realtime video. Realtime video to a set of glasses is not a problem. Sure – he’s limited to a lack of 3d vision, but reaction times should not be changed in the least bit. If you’re expecting realtime metadata to appear, that’s still a couple of years off. Just wait for 4g!

Speaking of becoming a gargoyle… Anyone have any links to home-brew RADAR setups?

why completely block vision and use webcam? because of the fucking sun. let’s blast that motherfucker approximately 150 million kilometers away!
i think it needs 2 screens, 2 cameras. servo controlled if you really have something against turning your head to see whats to the side. up to 8 cameras, so you can do the rear view and side views, with keyboard shortcuts or something.

@Spider
i have made some homebrews icluding a home brew that makes real life look like single player halo in my back yard and it works the same as a computer mouse kind of. it makes grunts and elites pop up every were and then i get to use a lazer tag kind of thing that has a usb on the end that looks lik a halo weapon and just plugs in to my laptop in my backpack when i get home from school. and you can link uo with other people who are near the area and have online halo battles. the grenades are completly 3d rendered we just were these gloves i made that looks like master chiefs glove but if you swing your hand more than 5mph it will 3d render a grenade and just through it at someone. its awsome cause we can pick co-op in the menu thingy i made or just multiplayer. i have it on my laptop(not my huge blue desktop)but it wont let me email it ):< its pretty cool though if you link up with other people because you can go all over the planet as long as you have internet connection and play agianst/with other people.

Can you fix the broken link for the glasses plz? Looks really interesting
