I've already mentioned using picoprojectors to provide a head-up
display via spectacles. I'd like you to imagine a pair of such video
glasses — but with an opaque screen, rather than an overlay. Between
the camera on the outside of each "lens" and the eye behind it, we
can perform any necessary image convolution or distortion needed to
correct my visual problems. We can also give our glasses digital
zoom, wider viewing angles, and low light sensitivity! Not to mention
overlaying our surroundings with a moving map display if we're
driving. All great stuff, except for the little problem of such
glasses blocking eye contact, which means they're not going to catch
on in social environments — except possibly among folks who
habitually wear mirrorshades.
So he can imagine this, but can't imagine a camera on the *inside* of
those spectacles that carry an image of the wearer's eyes to a display
on the *outside*?
