Did anyone else think about the Eyephone episode of Futurama when they saw this?


No - I thought about the augmented realities in Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End:

I thought of Steve Mann's "eye tap"


Was just about to post the same thing. Pretty nifty device, I've considered building my own for a while now. It's pretty simple.

Yeah, I like the wearable computing idea much more than I like walking about with a "smart" phone.


Ghost in the shell and vision interception devices. Hopefully the devices these guys create don't come with an integrated killswitch.


I actually thought about the contact lenses in Torchwood that could overlay text on your vision.
