Sorry for the delay, I'm having a Microsoft-Related Laptop problem right now, but not to worry it is on the mend. At any rate, while borrowing a friend's laptop I found the time to cruise TED for some provocative talks on Trans-human themes and I stumbled across this tidy little wrap-up of converging technologies. For those of you who aren't familiar with TED, it is a non-profit conference on "Ideas worth spreading" (T.E.D. stands for Technology Entertainment Design) And it brings together everybody from musicians to the dry and analytical science-types. Every TED Conference is an incredible snapshot of the intellectual landscape at the time and it really does sem to propagate great ideas and themes. The best part is that, for free, you can go to their website and watch any of over 700 talks (TEDTalks) that were recorded at various conferences in very clear definition. Each talk is around 18 minutes long and I've never been disappointed by a speaker, I always learn something new.
At any rate, here's the link to the TEDTalks video:

UPDATE:
The headset display is fantastic considering the money that I spent. My explorations of augmented reality have been interesting and informative but I haven't developed a really usable application yet. More work is yet to be done. Also, the system will be fully-wearable soon so I'll start generating a lot more content at that point. In the mean time, keep thinking forward.
Be Well,
-Nick
