As Google’s Glass continues to develop, competitors are already standing by to give it a run for its money. The Lumus DK-40 promises full augmented reality support for its pair, meaning that unlike Google’s headset which slides in notifications via a separate display block, the DK-40′s entire right lens is actually a 640 x 480 display.This allows for graphics to be directly laid on top of your real-world view, not unlike the HUD you’ll see in most first-person view video games.(via http://clotheshorse.org/news/lumus-dk-40-glass-with-true-ar)
The Android-powered DK-40 features a VGA-resolution display with a 25-degree field of view while the block section on the side that houses all the sensitive hardware such as the processor, battery and sensors is outfitted with a five-megapixel camera. Its estimated run time is between one and two hours of use based on Lumus’s early tests.
Wearables seem to be a growing trend lately. But within the space there are different options. There are fitness trackers and smartwatches as well as glasses. The big name in the glass space is Google, with Glass. But there are others such as Vuzix who recently began accepting pre-orders for the M100 from non-developers. While those are two examples, we also have Lumus.(via http://www.gadgetbeam.com/lumus-dk-40-wearable-glasses-teased)
