Wearable display for the masses

More about the Mitsubushi scopo wearable display presented earlier this month at the CEATEC exhibition in Japan.

It will become the first mass market wearable display for augmented reality at a relatively low cost (US$400, but don’t hold your breath, it will be launched next year. In Japan only) and can be worn without interfering with your daily activities.

A tiny LCD screen hangs over your eye and gives the illusion of a ten inch screen from a miniature surface. The headset has optional headphones and a small belt carried unit that contains the silicon that creates the images on the screen.

When plugged into a mobile phone, PDA or laptop with video functionality, you can stream directly to your field of vision or record footage on the fly. .
