OK, so they could use some slimming down (like maybe a belt-clipable handheld-sized device?) and I’d probably take a sharpie to that gross stripe (I may be from Jersey, but I’ve got SOME class), but still—this is the future and I can’t wait!

No more worrying about a scratched display or a cracked screen—just keep these babies on or in a hardcase and you’re in great shape.

Hell, I’d settle for one of these.

MUST READ THIS: Because, frankly, it’s insane.

These glasses project images into your retina!! YEP. The effect is a 16 inch transparent screen that appears to float 1 meter in front of your eyes.

These glasses also take photos. (Check out our You Vision Glasses if you’re into crazy photo-taking glasses!)

WANT! But only after I get assurances from several eye doctors that this is safe. Also, if they can project onto the retina, why can’t they project onto eyeglasses?

WANT: Carl Zeiss Cinemizer 3D Plus glasses: first cool looking wearable display that actually exists.

They only do VGA (640x480) resolution which kinda sucks, but still—these are the least dorkiest/coolest HMDs I’ve seen. In fact, they look kind of cool.  Since these were just announced at IFA, there’s not a lot of info out there about ‘em (though you can check out the previous model’s official page). As a result, it’s not entirely clear if they allow you to see your surroundings when you wear them or not, but I’d still love to add these to my gadget collection.  However, they price in at around $400, so I think I’ll be upgrading my cell phone and netbook first, since, that’s like WAY more economically responsible. O_O

I just wish they’d add cameras to these.
