Futuristic Mobile Computing Display
![]() While there have been some similar kinds of display technologies in the past, this comfortable headset is approaching practicality at an expected price of only about $400. Read more, see a video, and dream a little about the possibilities... http://www.gizmo.com.au/go/3298/ http://blogger.iftf.org/Future/000598.html http://global.mitsubishielectric.com/video/ (Via PC Magazine) |

Wearable Computing for about $1000!!!
Gee, following that line of thought, you could do a respectable wearable computer for not much more than $1000! (IBM's was $5-10,000.) With voice input using off-the-shelf software, too. Did you notice that in this picture, the guy seems to be holding a mouse-like device?
Consider: * This new mitsubishi display device for about $400 for a virtual 10" display * The IPAQ hx4700 vga Pocket PC attached to your belt ~$700 Or for a few bucks more, you could build this around one of the new handtop PCs. That would even allow dication transcription through Naturally Speaking voice recognition software. * A bluetooth handheld mouse product. Surely there's one out there. The idea is, for example, something like this * A driver to allow the handheld mouse work in place of the IPAQ touchpad. This would be a pretty neat setup. You could use it in private, on Halloween, or even in public if you ignore all the snickering and pointing! Quick -- Somebody tell the folks at Engadget.com about this. I bet they could have a working model ready in a week! |

Wooow! Did anyone of you guys watch Steven Spielberg's Minority Report? I think the idea of a virtual screen is soo cool. I cannot wait for this technology to become available to the average home consumer
