| Now You Can Wear Your Windows |

The next wave of cyber fashion? Imagine your smartphone feeding information to a 15-inch virtual Microsoft Windows PC display that sits in front of one eye (leaving the other free) while you speak commands using a hands-free natural speech recognition interface to control your phone and wireless access to the Internet. Rather than bumping into people while walking and staring at the smartphone in your hand, you view the Golden-i display as it sits on your head — with a hand-held mobile device in your pocket. |
You thought your Bluetooth headset gave you that certain je ne sais quoi cyberlook — perhaps like Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation after assimilation by the Borg. Now, along comes Kopin Corporation, with its strategic partner Mistral Solutions, launching its potentially game-changing Golden-i platform. Kopin’s headset makes you look more like a futuristic space soldier on Cameron’s Pandora than Patrick Stewart’s famous portrayal of the human-machine Locutus of Borg.

NASA Image Of The Day
| Panorama of the East Coast | ||
| This Jan. 29 panorama of much of the East Coast, photographed by one of the Expedition 30 crew members aboard the International Space Station, provides a look generally northeastward: Philadelphia-New York City-Boston corridor (bottom-center); western Lake Ontario shoreline with Toronto (left edge); Montreal (near center). An optical illusion in the photo makes the atmospheric limb and light activity from Aurora Borealis appear "intertwined." Image Credit: NASA... | ||
