 Lumus was showing off two
different types of wearable
displays, the development kit -- or
DK-32 shown above -- and the
PD-18-4 a monocular version using
the same technology. Driven by
Lumus' patented Light-guide
Optical Element, a micro-display
pod, and the Optical Engine which
projects light into the lens -- where
it is reflected back to the user's
eye via reflectors embedded in the
lens -- the Lumus' DK-32 delivers a
bright 720p 3D-capable display
that only weighs 27 grams. The
effect is really quite impressive,
the colors are bright -- and
adjustable using the display pod --
and images were surprisingly clear.
But the best part, of course, is that
while you're watching YouTube vids
and walking about you'll avoid
stumbling into objects and
passersby. Also on hand was the
monocle which was very much like
something you'd see in a science
fiction flick. With the PD-18-4 we
checked out a nav program, some
eye tests, and a phone UI mockup.
We're stoked at what this
development kit will make possible
once it gets into the hands of some
evil genius. Video and pictures are
just past the break.
