Interactive Mirrors: The Inevitable Future of Vanity

Lit Studios and Interference inc, the same guys who made that ridiculous laser pointer wall a few weeks ago, are back with a touch-enabled interactive mirror. Using a combination of projection techniques, they were able to superimpose a clear, vivid, moving image on top of a regular reflection, creating the bathroom mirror HUD that humanity (read: the sci-fi community) has been yearning for since about 1950.

Asus R710 GPS with Head-Up Display Demoed on Video

This is some video of Asus’ swanky new GPS model that projects data onto your windshield, saving you from distracting yourself from the road by peering at a device screen. So will the R710 make you feel like you’re flying a fighter aircraft with glitzy HUD graphics? No, not really, as it projects just some very basic info, like distance to next turn and which direction you’re going in. But if it prevents accidents, and makes navigating across tricky junctions a little easier since you won’t have to move your eyes from the road, seems like a great idea to me. [Navigadget]

DataGlass Head-Mounted Display Built For Rough Weather

We’ve seen plenty of these wearable computer displays in our time, but the Japan-only DataGlass 3/A Head Mounted Display is reinforced to be dustproof as well as waterproof. The 800x 600 DataGlass eyepatch connects and draws power via USB and, once plugged in, the wearer will feel as if a monitor is hovering in space about two feet in front of them. The DataGlass runs for about 1,600 bucks. [DigInfo via SciFi Tech]
