    I have a set of Myvus. After about 10 minutes my eyes are so fatigued from the inequal focus in the lenses that I have to take them off and put them away.

    I got them for watching iPod Touch videos, but the built in screen is infinitely superior.

    For a HUD I'd want one of those direct retinal projectors, because a small lensed screen is really brutal to use in real life.

    Vuzix makes an over-eye monitor designed for military use but can probably be purchased for a [high] price: http://www.vuzix.com/iwear/products_taceye_lt.html

    Meh. I helped put something like this together 8 years ago around a C1 Picturebook, Kopin microdisplay, 802.11 (not even B), wrist mount keyboard, track ring, and a big ol' battery to juice it all.

    My experience is that putting off the shelf hardware together like this isn't impressive at all. What makes wearables interesting is the software. Otherwise it's another stupid Windows machine with a completely unreadable display.

    Wouldn't one of the simplified Netbook Distros of Linux be a bit better? or something with a 10ft interface?
    Also this is pretty cool, just ruined by the myspace school of photography. Look's kinda like the eye piece in MGS4.
    Oh what's it cost?

    I really don't need to have a screen in front of my face at all walking hours. It's bad enough that I check my iPhone first thing in the morning, tweet in the bathroom, spend 9.5 hours a day in front of a computer monitor, and then return home to spend at least another 1.5 hours looking at screens.

    I'd prefer tech that weens us off our monitor addiction.

    That tech exists, it's called "outside".

    could someone please tell me how to do blockquotes on here.

    Technically the first wearable computer was DIY too as it was made by a guy that went to our high school (mid-90’s). Back then he had people all over him looking to market the computer, but it floundered.

    I don’t see a system like this going mainstream any time soon. I think it will be held back until they come out with a cheap reliable synaptic interface.

    @UnderLoK: Actually, the wearable computer is technically a lot older than that, but I guess it depends on what type of computer you are talking about.

    @Raziel66: Very true, but I wasn't even thinking of including ones that required a back pack and a car battery to function ;) However, you are correct and I guess I should have been more specific.

    @Hi, I'm God: Nah that's definitely a green start bar n the silver theme.
    Vista is Blue Start with Black taskbar.
    My computer logo is also a light blue hue n looking right. Vista the PC is dark blue n looks left(stupidly, unless you replace it)

    I personally would have put an iPod or a monitor there, broadcast is going to (hopefully) fade away soon in favor of online streaming/downloading.

    @Scotland: More importent, where is CRT HDTV?


    I have one of them, its like a 1080p plasma HDTV decided to have the fun times with a sony trinitron TV and the result was a confused 1080i CRT HDTV.


    I have a Samsung Slimfit 32" 1080i HDTV, it was discontinued shortly after I bought it a year ago =(
