[...] When I saw the Wrap920AR in person at CES 2010 it was playing a very simple maze game. The 3D effect was cool, but sort of hurt your eyes. The demonstration in the video above is light-years ahead of the one in January. We’ve seen augmented reality of this caliber before, but rarely in 3D, and never on a glasses platform. I’m a little upset that the Wrap920AR costs $2000 (reps at CES originally told me it would be closer to $800) and I don’t think home users will plunk down two grand for a personal AR system no matter how cool it is. That being said, there’s a lot of potential here for engineers to leap into AR development using the Wrap920AR as a relatively inexpensive platform. Others have already done that with Vuzix’s cheaper iWear model (without 3D). Once we figure out how to make AR systems like the Wrap920AR for $500 and with a long battery life, they could replace the screens on smart phones – maybe even replace the entire phone. It’s going to be an amazing future when I can walk down the street with augmented directions guiding my steps, and AR data telling me about the shops and restaurants around me. Watching virtual dragons fly around wouldn’t be too shabby either. [...]

I bought this camera for my wife when her Nikon camera had run out life expectancy. In the end we all are happy with our purchase.

[...] When a character in Caprica wants to access the web, or exchange information, they do so through a piece of paper. Graphics are seen to overlap with that paper so it becomes a digital interface. This is classic augmented reality. Think of Pranav Mistry’s Sixth Sense device, or Light Blue Optics’ projector system either of which turns any surface into a touchscreen. Of all the advanced tech we’ve seen in Caprica, this may be the closest to reality. All would take for it to become real is a steady improvement in AR. [...]
