LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2013- Wearable Technology Expo — Vuzix(R) Corporation (Rochester, NY) (OTCQB: VUZI), a leading supplier of Video Eyewear and Smart Glasses products in the enterprise and consumer markets, today announced a major optical breakthrough that will dramatically improve glasses-based wearable technology.
The new Waveguide optics engine jointly developed with Nokia(R), for the first time enables smart eyewear technology capable of fitting into standard glasses frames and is being first introduced with the release of the Vuzix M2000AR HMD.
The first Vuzix product to use the revolutionary Waveguide technology is the highly anticipated and immediately available M2000AR for Enterprise.

- 720p display and 1080p camera
- HDMI Interface
- Electronic sunglass “tint”
- 30deg FOV
- Daylight usable with up to 8,000 Nits of brightness

managing the development and implementation of the Virtual Style Pod; a highly innovative Augmented Reality booth. Avantgarde developed this application together with Engage for The Galleria.
The Virtual Style Pod allows guests to create their own stylish moments by virtually trying on the latest fashion from The Galleria designer stores. The experience was captured and uploaded to The Galleria Facebook page or sent to the user's email address.
We created an interactive virtual wardrobe to bring the spirit of the guests to get a chance to make an impression in the fashion world. Guests attending the event had a chance to try some of the latest signature collections. The solution was integrated with social media where the augmented pics were posted on the user timeline.(via YouTube by Saravanan Natarajan)

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.
(via http://www.gadgetbeam.com/lumus-dk-40-wearable-glasses-teased)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.

Yuri Suzuki's latest artwork involves mini robots following a hand drawn circuit, turning colored parts of the track into sound. Called Looks Like Music the audiovisual installation is inspired by his piece Color Chaser and is currently being exhibited at MUDAM in Luxembourg.
Suzuki's background as both a sound artist and product/interactive designer is evident in the design of the unusual-looking robots. These "Color Chasers", produced by Dentaku, look like designer products and each have a different name—like basscar, glitchcar, drumcar—which relates to the different type of sounds they produce from the color markings. With sound programming by Mark McKeague the different robots combine bass, percussion, drum and other noises to create a chaotic symphony.(via http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/miniature-robots-follow-a-hand-drawn-circuit-translating-color-into-sound by The Creators Project Team — Aug 22 2013)

The Vuzix M100 can be paired with an Android phone or even an iPhone using Bluetooth 4.0 or WiFi connections. The glasses can be used together with the apps running on the smartphone, or even duplicate what is displayed on the smartphone. It can even run pre-installed and side-loaded Android apps. The only issue here is its 600mAh battery, which only yields up to two hours of usage with the display turned on. It does have an optional 3,000mAh external battery pack that can boost its staying power by up to six times. The Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses is now available for $ 1,000, about $ 500 cheaper than the Explorer edition of Google Glass. Buyers can choose between white and gray.
This video illustrates how we use the GoPro Hero 3 camera and its private wifi link to directly observe a trainee performing a procedure. This give a 'point of view' video allowing the trainer to see almost exactly what the trainee sees in real time. This gives the trainee independence but with the security of knowing that advice is immediately at hand. Glass could be used in exactly the same way with a truer viewpoint as the camera is in line with the operators line of sight.The GoPro or Glass could be used to train many students simultaneously either in the next room (away from radiation exposure) or by streaming live over the web.http://www.whichmedicaldevice.com/edi...(via Yotube by Which Medical Device)
