Intel announces Vaunt, a set of smart glasses that are designed to appear like conventional glasses and are display-only, using retinal projection. [6] The project was later shut down. [7] Zeiss and Deutsche Telekom partners up to form tooz technologies GmbH to develop optical elements for smart glass displays. [8] [9]
The displays are manufactured worldwide by different suppliers. Currently, the iPad's display comes from Samsung, [12] while the MacBook Pro and iPod Touch displays are made by LG Display [13] and Japan Display Inc. [14] There was a shift of display technology from twisted nematic (TN) liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) to in-plane switching (IPS) LCDs starting with the iPhone 4 models in June 2010.
Some devices may use other kinds of display technology, like holographic displays or multiscopic displays. Some devices employ eye tracking in aiming the 3D effect to the viewer's eye. Opic Technologies, Inc. offers a 3D smartphone with stereoscopic cameras, which enables 3D livestream technology.
A head-mounted display (HMD) is a display device, worn on the head or as part of a helmet (see helmet-mounted display for aviation applications), that has a small display optic in front of one (monocular HMD) or each eye (binocular HMD). HMDs have many uses including gaming, aviation, engineering, and medicine.
The system consists of a display, a computer known as a "puck", a networked data radio, and three conformal batteries. The display can augment the soldier's vision with imagery from thermal imaging and low-light imaging sensors. The radio allows data from the soldiers' individual IVAS headsets to be passed among members of the company. [3]
The Spectacles circular video format. Spectacles glasses capture video in a circular format, as shown in the thumbnail to the right. Snap Inc claims this is to more closely approximate the field of view of the human eye. [dubious – discuss] The glasses are exclusive to Snap Inc's service, Snapchat. They are paired by looking at the user's ...
The resolution of the retinal display only (not the camera) is claimed by the manufacturers to be nominally equivalent to 720P. [ 10 ] Although "not a medical device" it is hoped that the retinal projection viewer may be of particular value to some visually impaired users, and the adaptation was heavily subsidised by Sony.
Google Glass, or simply Glass, is a discontinued brand of smart glasses developed by Google's X Development (formerly Google X), [9] with a mission of producing a ubiquitous computer. [1] Google Glass displays information to the wearer using a head-up display. [10] Wearers communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands. [11] [12]
