Digital Eye Glass
I believe that Digital Eye Glass will ultimately replace glasses, and will help many people see better, and improve the quality of their lives through Augmediated Reality.
Personal introduction
I wear a computer vision system, and carry a letter from my family physician, as well as documentation on this system when I travel.
I have worn a computer vision system of some kind for 34 years, and am the inventor of
the technology that I wear and use in my day-to-day life.
Although it has varied over the last 34 years, I have worn the present embodiment of this system (pictured below) for 13 years. This simple design which I did in collaboration with designer Chris Aimone, consists of a sleek strip of aluminum that runs across the forehead, with two silicone nose pads. It holds an EyeTap device (computer-controlled laser light source that causes the eye itself to function as if it were both a camera and display, in effect) in front of my right eye. It also gives the wearer the appearance of having a "glass eye", this phenomenon being known as the "glass eye" effect (
Presence Connect, 2002). Over the years the EyeTap has also therefore been known as the "Glass Eye" or "Eye Glass", or "Digital Eye Glass", using the word "Glass" in its singular form, rather than its plural form "Glasses" (See figure caption,
"EyeTap digital eye glass", Aaron Harris/Canadian Press, Monday Dec. 22, 2003).
Recent news has described me as "the father of wearable computing" in the context of various commercially manufactured versions of similar eye glass, such as those made by companies like Google, Olympus, and the like (see below), so as this technology becomes mainstream, McDonald's might need to get used to it.
Comment: Gotten your fill yet? Sounds pretty cool, eh? Except the parts they left out about the Military during times of war:
Kill your fellow man, get a shiny new medal for being a hero in some War who's effect will be settled by bankers, politicians and business men. That's right, step right up and gain PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), live a life of fear and reaction to the next car horn, become more psychopathic, be the first kid on your block with a confirmed kill. There are NO other jobs, but you too, can become cannon fodder for the war machine. You too, can be gung-ho and mutilate the made-up-enemy-of-the-day, from the comfort of your base half-way across the globe and never have to look the (made up) enemy in the eye, with our new class of drone fighters!
That's the United States: The Greatest
