If like me you’re a bit of a geek at heart and love all things to do with future technologies then you may be interested to learn that Vuzix are about to unveil a pair of video sunglasses that look almost normal! These sunglasses are able to function both as sunglasses or as a portable video display and promise to combine “virtual reality capabilities” and “augmented reality features”. The Wrap 920AV glasses should connect with almost any media player, and include built in headphones and individual focal adjustments.
This technology will be great for entertainment purposes initially, but it’s clear that this tecnology could in fact be used to aid our every day lives, much like the Head Up Displays used by pilots, we could potentially see this technology being picked up by car manufactures to display details directly in front of a drivers eyes.
The full details including pricing won’t be available until CES early next year, but Vuzix is already teasing us with this image of their Wrap 920AV video glasses.
While watching the Gadget Show on channel Five (15th December 2008) the presenters, Dallas Campbell and Jason Bradbury, had a look at future technologies and what we could expect to see in the shops in the future, one of the technologies that caught my eye was Ion-Mask, a technology that could potentially render many of our every day items completely impermeable to water. The Ion-Mask technology works by using a chemical based on the element fluorine which when placed in a closed chamber, vaporises and attaches itself, molecule by molecule, to the material. Watching the Gadget Show article and others on You Tube shows that Ion-Mask could be applied to virtually any object!
I see this as a potentially interesting technology for eye wear of all kinds, from prescription glasses, sunglasses, swimming goggles, safety goggles, and even visors for crash helmets! Could this allow glasses to be worn outside in the rain or in environments where they are prone to misting without ever fogging up/requiring a wipe? Could swimming goggles and diving masks remain mist free whilst underwater giving swimmers and divers crystal clear vision? And how about crash helmet visors, this technology would give every day motorcyclists to Formula 1 drivers a totally clear view of the road during light or heavy rain showers at day or night, any rain droplets coming into contact with the visor would simply bead off. This certainly could be an interesting new technology for the eye wear industry!
For more information about this exciting new technology and what applications it could be used for, please take a look at the videos.
