So… for Uvah, a special today. I read where you said 3D won’t happen until we get holographic displays. You’re right, and it’s here, if on a personal level.
Neowin’s Chris White interviewed a Vizux representative at CES and the vid is on Neowin. So I took a trip to the company website to learn more. This is true cutting edge stuff.
The possibilities (as well as what’s here already) are amazing!

Say tech help is needed. The guy comes but can’t solve it. He puts on the tethered (so no huge battery pack) glasses, calls level2 and that tech walks him through it.
Soldier on the battlefield gives sitrep and ‘realtime’ data, his local/upper echelon sees the column moving, relays it to artllery/air support – *poof. Already exists. The added advantage is the “Borg look”.
Your doctor can’t diagnose that rash. He dials his consultant and puts on the glasses – presto diagnoso. Or, in a complex surgery a problem comes up. The consultant sees it and advises “realtime”.
You’re lost and you put on the glasses, hook up to Google street view or a topo map and take a look around… you’re on the way home.
You’re on a plane or train, bored out of your gourd… hook the glasses to your storage device and you’re watching a flick on a virtual 60” screen. Now exists.
Medical: Already exists. Macular Degeneration is inoperable. The device (in the color pic) improves vision from 20/70-20/200 to 20/40 or 20/20… for reading and distance.
So, take a look at the Neowin article and take a look at Vizux.
