augmented reality sunglasses

vuzix makes a variety of video eyewear that allows users to view video content up close and personal. the company recently debuted a new piece of eyewear that would enable augmented reality functionality on what appears to be sunglasses. the new wrap 920AR eyewear would overlay information over video of what the user is looking at while wearing the device. while augmented reality on static displays has unleashed numerous applications, this new form of continuous AR will have even more applications. the eyewear uses stereo cameras to capture the video and gives the user a 67 inch display when seen from 10 feet away. the company will begin selling the new device later this year and will also offer the AR functionality as an add on to their existing video eyewear designs.
