Subject: Miniature Display Piggybacks on Eyeglass Frames From: Qstartide@earthling.net (Startide) This is just a heads-up information post about wearable miniature display systems that are small enough to clip onto existing eyeglass frames. Additional information on other systems that they are developing is also available: MicroOptical Integrated Eyeglass Displays http://www.microopticalcorp.com/ Because they are integrated, you will have to send your eyeglass prescription to them so that they can get the eyeglasses made. Their eyeglasses perform the same functions as ordinary corrective lenses, sunglasses, or even safety glasses (if you request that version). Of note is that their ClipOn Display Developers Kit is available now in small quantities to qualified system integrators and manufacturers, and includes a video converter to accept VGA or NTSC input. The method utilized in their miniature systems is Optical MEMS technology developed with DARPA funding (so you paid for it via taxes) and it can be used to reduce optical systems to integrated circuit scale.
