Really, a Tony Stark reference from Ironman?

You will wear contacts if all the other kids are wearing them and they won’t play with you unless you do.

Wait until those things are so small that they are either installed in the eye or invisibly into your glasses. A lot of people will be tearing their hair in the near future.

The contact lenses are a deal breaker for me. I’m not going to wear contact lenses all the time for the indeterminate advantage of these glasses.

So let me guess, you sprayed it with OFF, and it fell dead on the floor, with it’s legs twitching.

The edit feature in the plug-in we were using was buggy.

Yes, from concept to commercialization, “there’s many a slip twixt cup and lip”, Lemoptix rather has to hurry up, IMHO.

No augmented reality in this video but nice to see on the background this view of Lausanne, a very enjoyable city, and the department of biology on the right of Mr. Moser, fond memories ;-)

well, they are polluting the environment and — most importantly — wasting precious cpu cycles (Im agreeing more and more with Mr. D. “o.O).

Get chrome or a firefox plugin for automagically nit picking on your humanness!

Counting all the parsing errors you people generate on my end I’d certainly love to save all those cycles (arg! again!).

> it is very hard to beat the refresh rate on reality.

haha, yeah, I’m not attuned to that at all, dude! =)

>data you are after.

got that covered ;-)

Yes .. the edit feature “was” nice .. I would really prefer a spelling checker in the Comment box here … other sites have this already.

…thanks…. btw…where did our edit feature go…? I think we went from 5 min. down to 0. I had complained to see if we could go longer…. somehow my request backfired. I make typos and errors all the time, so this lack of an edit option has me especially worried. (I wrote “out” and should have said “about”)

But can you wear these glasses to the McDonald’s in Paris?

Hi Marcos

For RAW data, it is very hard to beat the refresh rate on reality.

I suspect it is not exactly raw data, but very focussed and filtered data you are after.

By: Marcos Marin

Marcos Marin — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 15:05:06 +0000

I agree completely with every word you say. And let me add that I would never use contact lenses for superfluous resolution! All I need is data, RAW data.

That’s mostly verbatim from their statement. As we learn more, we’ll post.

Before this invention can be commercialized, all these technologies must be refined, tested, and put together, which may take two and five years, says EPFL.

…was this supposed to say 2-5 years? My guess is that anything longer than 2 years and you may be out of business… 5 years seems too far away. I have doubts that anyone who does not require contact lenses already will want to start wearing them, so my hope is that they can get their design to work using regular glasses. Listening to what they think the likely use may include has me concerned (navigation for rescue use, so you can use your hands? what?).

For navigation or gaming use….. really… that is all you can come up with? So do these glasses have the ability to confirm what direction you are looking?

I am so excited out this basic idea and advancement of technology, but was so disappointed after hearing these 2 developers. Maybe a case where the guys inventing it are good at that part only and not so good to help figure out what others will want to do with it. For now at least I don’t think Google has any competition, but I will check back in 5 years (grin).
