Augmented Realty Eyeglasses: I AM geeky enough to make this fashion statement!

THE AR WALKER, from NTT DoCoMo

Jason Sosa tweeted about the latest trend, the AR Walker, augmented reality for your glasses. This technology from NTT DoCoMo allows you to instantly access location-based information about the things around you. This would be very convenient for people walking about in urban areas, or for tourists. The system also provides easy access to other kinds of information. For example, if you look up towards the sky, you'll get weather information...beyond what you'd figure out on your own.

Of course, the fashionable get-up is in the prototype stage, so you won't be able be seen in public with the newest type of shades anytime soon. For more information, see the video below:

About

This blog is one of my on-line filing cabinets, open to the world, focusing on off-the-desktop natural user interfaces, interactive systems, interaction design, and user experience.

What is the interface? Real-world locations and public spaces (airports, shopping centers, lobbies, buildings, plazas, parks, etc.), educational or social networks and settings, as well as virtual worlds - simulations, games, VR, or augmented reality - just about anything humans interact with in their daily lives.

I blog about technologies, systems, and applications that support communication, collaboration, knowledge exploration/sharing, interactive information visualization, multimedia storytelling, creative expression, games, learning, planning and decision making, and accessibility.

This is the sister blog of Interactive Multimedia Technology

Check out the Resources section to find links to resources about multi-touch and gesture-based interaction & systems, related interaction and usability design, the open-source Natural User Interface (NUI-Group) community, Microsoft's Surface, HP's TouchSmart PC, Smart Technology's SMARTTable, and more.
