EYE PHONES for Digital Video Cameras. A Plea to Manufacturer

[Muskeman15]

google vuzix its what you are talking about. im saving up for a pair

[kvitnius]

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD



[845238915]

So terrible ! iWear Dynamic Video Glasses For iPhone in dx.com is better than this one .

[mickfarr]

lol! This video gave me a good laugh :-D

[andreirocks1992]

what if you turn your eyes around? :|

[nanotech2080]

Are you shitting me? Portable TV's and VCR's in 1976 + you drew them back then?

[jhwarren96]

YEA thats not an iphone

[shdggsdv]

@jhwarren96 eyephone you dumbass lol

[jhwarren96]

@shdggsdv its still a stupid idea

[kiely]

this is fake and stupid. what he asks for has been in use for at least 18 years that i know of ... the system i used is obsolete now but it was made by a company called heads up display systems. i think that have been out of business for at least 10 years.

[allthenames1986]

thanks for the video. Where did you get those "miniature projectors"

[bbbeaverson]

He had VCR on his concept drawing. Really? 1976?

[4216dman]

iphone

eyephone

Battle to the death

[NinjaArmadillo]

Ya manufacturers get making these, mine didn't work!

I glued earbuds to my glasses and didn't see anything, this video's bullshit.

[EroSeninLucas]

WTF I just watched?

[watz2000]

idiot

[electric4y]

bullshit !

[SROnivera]

My head just exploded from the amount of crap I've seen in this video... Ah well, it happens.

[vincentstockdaletv]

You could actually make these 3 d glasses if the right an left picture alternates and combined in the middle like they do in theaters and other 3 d concepts

[rebelyelleasyrider]

Welcome to Vuzix iWear

[HaXardStudios]

im not to hot on this idea but points for trying

[AnthonyNolan01]

Peoples always figuring out a way of taking your idea and using it for their company or themselves. I created a software Idea called Clear Glass Desktop back in 2001. I talk to an ATI marking manager. He had me to send a video of how it works but ATI never got back with me. Next thing I found out while watching G4 which was called Tech TV at that time. Leo was showing a AGP video card made by ATI with my software idea.

[bergi85]

why the name eye phones? there is no phone at all in them? just wondering.

[gavthefreq18]

how come they are a set of headphones glued to a pair of glasses then dickhead

[kb212b]

Can I get a pair?

[JayRyanPhoto]

Awesome idea, NightFlyer! Why couldn't the vuzix vr920 (or similar VR hardware) be converted for your use? I know it's not quite your idea, but it's close and ought to work without much hacking.

[Modge17]

You should've copyrighted the name in 1976! That would've thrown a spanner in Apple's works :P

[iRawrZ3R0]

Oh i was about to be all like O.o

weird the guy can hear through his eyes D:

[giannirilow]

there are Not many ways to cut a pizza, but few ones. I'm Italian...I Know

[MrBeinIan]

wait so how does that work? You put earphones on a pair of glasses plug it into a camera and u automatically see through earphones? wtf

[houdini1462]

I think it would be cool to have a mini cam on your heli or plane and have a steady feed to your "eye phones", so it would be like you're the pilot in the plane rather than on the ground...

[NilNeiro]

WTF?! but it's quite entertaining, so I approve this.

[XxPainIsOnlyAWordxX]

Smart idea and all but wouldnt you think that could speed up eye failure and eye problems(not to delay the final invention loner) but if theres screens less than an inch from your eyes cant that be hazardous to them?Plz keep on working with these because they sound good but improvments are bound to get you the patented inventor of this machine.

[DAR8763]

kp k did this shit !

[Kontext51]

Your eye can't focus on objects less than about 4 inches in front of your face. So the screens would look all blurry UNLESS you had a series of internal reflecting mirrors inside the glasses.

[edrianquintos]

the problem is about vision unless we are able to make a semi translucent film that can produce images this is not a good idea.. would you like walking with covers on your eyes and not able to see things??

plus if you do want that thing its already been made in japan..if im not mistaken visual boy was the first..?

just keep on with the ideas.. but be informed of the lest tech news :)

[malkoyore]

FUCK YOU NIGHTFAGGIT

[malkoyore]

FUCK YOU NIGHTFAGGIT

[coulox]

FAKE FAKE Fake from your headphones ????

[shockflyyer3d]

the fatshark fpv system for rc uav flight has them

[Hal0K1LLER117]

my internet its 50 mbp and it cant even load a video like this wtf

[dster]

absolutely stupid!!!

[thechoosendude]

I'm sure the idea was even around 30 years ago, Dave.

It's just that no one had LCD screens or the capability to do it back then.

[kovo248]

never think about your ideas in way that sombody have invented it before you ..

[zimaroulis]

hahahahahah rofl!

nice one : P

[tak915]

video cameras werent out 30 years ago!!!!!!

[ryanThornhill1]

I CAN'T SEE ANY VIDEO FROM MY EAR BUDS/HEADPHONES. IT PISSES ME OFF HOW MANY FAKE VIDEOS ARE BEING POSTED ON YOUTUBE, even old people need to get life!!!!!!

[chickenwings117]

did u seriously think that u can see a video from your headphones?

[Brettvella1984]

er,, these exist, look on ebay for video glasses

[scacca22]

ive always thought it wuld be cool to wacth tv or a movie with glasses no 1 thinks itll happen

[EmoRockR182]

They already exist....

For awhile now

Check your local bestbuy lol

[DCIdrum4life]

i ill ready didnt do this!!!!!!!!!! lol

[reply4reply]

wish all dads can make tech jokes

[derniko1992]

"Eyephones" does almost sound like "iPhones" xD

It's a really cool concept! Because I know the problem of reflecting LCD monitors very well, even these "Non-Glare-LCDs" can't help. Now it's the manufacturers' turn to produce these "Eyephones"!

[peterpinkster]

he,he,he. so fake!

you can listen with your eyes now.

anyway nice idea.

[scrfce123]

Sony manufactured eye gear with LCD screens a while ago. They cost a fortune and hardly anyone bothered to invest in the technology so it was condemned to the history books. Look up Sony Glasstron.

The main difficulty with producing these glasses is that they need to take mono-optical images and display them stereoscopically.

I think Sony are working on a better design. They claim it will be released in 2010.

[aerialboy55]

hey how do u make one of those? like how u get the camera on them?

[crapvader]

thats awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[comedymaker1]

exakly how much did all that cost

[videocruzer]

to bad you never did a poor man patent.

self addressed registered letter with your idea signed and dated on the document.

and It even stands up in court. millions of bucks have been made this way.

[NightFlyyer]

Really. How about this video, does that count? It is copyrighted and publised. Thanks.

[dextercf]

@NightFlyyer it only proves you uploaded a video 31. july 2009..

And that you explain what you did NOT invent..

[Okobojibluegill]

I found this link that has a few fairly reasonably priced package deals for setting up RC aircraft with long range video camera/video glasses.

You will have to throughly check the site to see them all.

hobbywireless. com/cart/index.php

[NightFlyyer]

Yep, seen all that new stuff. I did it with some bulky equipment myself already too. We did it back in the 70's. One of the model airplane magazines I wrote for, even published a picture of my setup. Of course I worked with RPVs in the military too and that helped. Thanks.

[kapitanC]

inspiring. idea idea idea :) thanx for sharing sir.

[gentlemanzero]

not a bad idea but have you seen the actual REAL Video Glasses people like n3m1s1s and jackycopter are using to fly their planes and helicopters? the stuff they use is tiny compared to these glasses :O n3m1s1s took me for a fly the other day and the glasses were picking up the video stream from across town! i couldnt believe it.

[NightFlyyer]

Of course I have seen them, but no 33 years ago, when I came up with this concept. We barely had calculators back then. There are no surprised today, but they still havent perfected optical transmitters, as I show. But one day they will.

[ukurio]

im confused, how was the picture being projected, or however way it was being put onto the lens of the sun glasses?

[NightFlyyer]

When I came up with the idea 33 years ago, projection tvs were coming of age,so I imagined tiny projectors on each glasses arm to shine on a screen.

For this video, I SIMULATED built in LCD screens in the sunglasses, is all.

[shockflyyer3d]

how does sound project a picture?

i just dont see how this would work with sound waves.

[NightFlyyer]

Like I said in the video, it is simulated. Those buds transmit waves to the eyeball is the concept, and I used the buds to simulate it. Guess you missed all that.

[PuppyMan599]

video editing software :-)

[NightFlyyer]

The whole concept is simulated, you know.

[etorrestube]

Hi fellas! a little bit late into this conversation, buy have you tried looking out for I-theare glasses?

[SoCalsandman780]

Dave, you would make Thomas Edison proud!

[NightFlyyer]

Haha. Your the man.  Thanks.

[TheMHeli]

I find it amusing that they had a program on PBS (Scientific American Frontiers) yesterday that featured some students at MIT that made something very much like this, except that there was a small LCD display OUTSIDE a normal pair of glasses , merely clipped on. The eyepiece also had a camera and RFID reader. The project director had a tag that the camera recognized and his name popped up on the display when he was walked in front of...

[TheMHeli]

... the eyepiece also put a map up on your glasses and updated it as you walked around the lab. The students at MIT were developing this for astronauts on the ISS working on the outside of the station so that they could watch video of the training task so that they didn't have to carry around paper checklists in space (they do that nowadays!) and wouldn't have to be re-trained. Dave, most likely will be probably coming to the commercial market soon enough. (I'm guessing)

-Miles

[NightFlyyer]

I hope so. I need it right now for my airplane videos.

[CBLInternational]

ezVision make glasses that allow you to watch films or connect up to a camera.

[NightFlyyer]

Yep, but way more expensive than my camera. I just want the camera makers to make them for the normal people like us. LOL

[mordoringer]

I am sorry... I dont understand... you mean you actually see through those earphones???

[NightFlyyer]

That part of the concept and my idea was that the optical transmitters would transmit the signal through the eye right into thr brain. . You see?

[5botball]

what purpose does putting ear phone in your glasses provide?

[NightFlyyer]

Duh? If you watch the video, you will see the concept. Those earphones are actually Eye implant transmitters, as envisioned, not earphones.

[calebiskkkool]

these would be cool to make live streaming to them from a camera on board of an rc plane!!!! that would be AWESOME!!!!

[powerman2442]

Did you read the video description or listen to the video? He said he came up with this idea 20 years ago before there was technology able to do this.

[powerman2442]

Well unfortunately YouTube just shows the correct order of comments unless you you view all comemnts, which I am not going to do, just so I can see who you were replying to.

[oggybodoggy]

HAHA

[GJonathanWIII]

you didn't give any mention to that which makes your eye phones better than the rest that are on the market. The others are awkward looking and feeling and are bulky, while yours fit on any pair pair of glasses. Re-shoot this with emphasis on the convenience and compatibility of your product vs. the ones on the market. I for one thought "eh, slightly more stylish but that about it" until you mention at the very end that they attach to any pair of glasses. emphasize on that and they'll sell.

[NightFlyyer]

THis was a concept of mine over 30 years ago, that is all, There were none then to say mine was better. It was just an idea I had then and wanted to see what it would look like today with today's technology. Im non interested in making them, just getting camera makers to make something we can use to see our subjects better than in that little screen that you cant see well in the daylight. I think they could make them small and cheap for sure.

[Wilzaza]

im also a bit confused...do the earphones reprsent projectors? and also was an idea to have it project onto your eyes?

[NightFlyyer]

No, the ear buds are actually Vision Transmitters that send signals directly through the brain, into the eye.

It was a concept I came up with over 30 years ago, way before it could be done.

[FormerlyFlightsuit]

Bring this product to market, and it's only a matter of time before some clod crashes his car 'cause he was watching a DVD while careening down the road! You know somebody would do that!

[NightFlyyer]

Yeah, well they already have them today, and there are a lot of stupid and uncoordinated people who cant drive when eating or listening to the radio, let alone use a cell phone. Just because some people will abuse anything, does not mean they should not make them. How about a little optimism, not pessimism.

[FormerlyFlightsuit]

Optimism? About the decision-making abilities of my fellow motorists? In California? Hah, hah...!

;)

[NightFlyyer]

I lived in California for 50 years...but believe me they are better drivers than here. LOL.

[FormerlyFlightsuit]

For some reason I thought you were still living in SoCal. I grew up thinking California drivers were normal. It wasn't until I drove through the Deep South and Texas that I truly understood what it was like to be surrounded by courteous drivers. Oh well. At least they've outlawed playing with your cell phone while driving in CA. That's a small step in the right direction.

[jonwilly2]

already on the market

[spyke200194]

really? . if its on the web then I think we all would benefit from a link .. please :)

[mach7rc]

Pretty cool Dave. Your next project would be to record your next flight thru your glasses, where everywhere you look, it would record. That would be a awesome way to keep up with aircraft at all times, lol. Hats off to ya!!!!!!

[NightFlyyer]

Haha. Thanks. But really, I just want it so I can see my camera Screen in the daylight. LOL.

[Didgeman80]

I always thought that it would be cool to have shades that would project an image on to them as well as giving the user the option to look at what is directly in front of them. Now, have the image be from a camera in your rc cockpit and then fly it from this view would be amazing plus, you'd still have the option of looking at your plane in the sky. This would be nuts!!! See what your plane sees as it happens.

[helinewbee]

thats cool here is an idea if you took your eye phone and had a wireless cam in the front of a r/c heli such as the blade 400 you wouldnt have to worrie as much about orintation just a thought

[NightFlyyer]

Good point. Thanks. I just want to see my camera screen at this point, though.  LOL.

[PonderLust]

The first PC came out in 1980!

[NightFlyyer]

I said, The first PC with WIndows 95 (replacing dos,) came out in 95, for the public. There were plenty of ones before that, but not what you would recognize. I worked at Burroughs and manufactured the First large system computers, and then we began making PCs as we know them today. Burrourghs is now Unisys.

[spektrum33]

We can get a system like this in the uk,in comes with a black and white picture or if you want to spend little more you can get colour..it can cost about 300 dollars to about 700 depending what you want,I think it also has 2.4GHZ down link..

to expensive for me....{*_"} thanks again dave

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks. I would love to see camera makers make them today, and bet they could easily and cheaply do it.

[startazz]

Yet another truly great idea Dave and i think a hell of alot of us on YT alone would want a set of those ;-) 5*

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks. I think so too. I appreciate your comments.

[superrcpilot1]

thats what you use to secretly look up a chicks skirt.

[NightFlyyer]

Haha. I think she would see the camera, tho. LOL.

[SaoMir1]

you should patent it

[NightFlyyer]

Too late, but thanks.

[dccollectoraz]

Wow Dave, your a GENIUS!

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks. Back then is was, but today, it is probably not. THanks again.

[d3jsp]

make it wireless and but the camera on the plane and you will be in side the plane lol

[NightFlyyer]

Haha Good idea.

[d3jsp]

i have thought of that idea years ago...

just not on glasses...

i always thought of having a wireless camera on the plane while it con\mmunicates with my laptop which i will sit in front off...

but this glasses idea is just too good to be true lol... lets hope that they actually make something like this! :)

i am still looking for something wireless thats usb, small enough and has long range...

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks. I appreciate that. I hope it comes to market for my cameras.

[FangarJim]

Pretty cool idea for back then Dave. I have a setup not that is fairly inexpensive that does just that. Mine however is plugged in via 2.4 ghz downlink so that I can see through the lens of the camera while the AP plane is in the air. Keep the fun rolling ! ~ James

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks kindly.

[helicopterkid1996]

Eye Phone...the new Iphone

[thehilitereel]

Find out a way to cheaply make these, sell them yourself and become a millionaire. You wouldn't even need to light up both lenses, just one.

As a fan of your channel, I believe you have the brains to do it if you really wanted to.

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks kindly. Good points. Yep, I think it would take more than my brains to make thes, but thanks.. I hope the camera makers could do it.

[computerwiz1995]

i was on my way back from vacation and i was reading the "Sky Mall" magazine and i say these things simmilar to yours. however they were like 500 $

[NightFlyyer]

Yep. I just want camera makers to make cheaper ones so we can see the digital images better than that tiny reflective screen we deal with today.

[tylrpnk99]

i would buy them!

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks.  Me too.

[Jarel8787]

@ 2:18 the left one just disappears

[NightFlyyer]

Gee, it is just simulated, as is says!

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks. Hope the camera guys can make some cheaper than $300.

[Mikemc]

You're right, they do already exist, except there are little screens, not projectors

[NightFlyyer]

Yes, this was my original design idea when Projection TV was new, but no one is doing optical transmitters and implants yet!. LOL.

[shockflyyer3d]

i still dont belive it

[NightFlyyer]

Better get your believer fixed, then. LOL.

[popcornreviews]

wowowowowowowowow!

looks like something you would find in a sci-fi film!

sweet!

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks.

[Wilzaza]

cool concept. lol iPhone add beside it!

[NightFlyyer]

LOL.  Thanks.

[taofledermaus]

Was the term, "VCR" in use in 1976? It IS very difficult to see the LCD screen of cameras. I have to use the eyepiece for my Casio EXF1 when it is bright, and especially if I am trying to track something fast like a bird, one eye on the eyepiece and the other following the object. I was thinking of making a black box (think lens hood) to help keep the light off my LCD screen.

[NightFlyyer]

I had a Panasonic VCR back then.

[taofledermaus]

I couldn't remember when I had first seen a VCR. I think it was around 1977 and it was in 7th grade and were starting to replace projectors. I didn't buy my first one until around 1986 when they started getting "cheaper", which was $400!

[NightFlyyer]

Yep, I was working with the movie industry and got my hands on a used Panasonic. VCRs were first released commercially in 1956 by Ampex corporation.

[BCPCX]

iPhone?

[NightFlyyer]

Eye phone.

[renuthuf65]

you said iPhone

[rbmdl]

cool camera

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks. I like it a lot.

[wickedg]

These are real. Several companies make them. I actually have a pair made by Vuzix. You can get them at Brookstone. I got them for Christmas last year from my in-laws.

[NightFlyyer]

So they will work with my camera?

[wickedg]

Absolutely. They come with different adapters for different video inputs including VGA out from vid cams. Another company called MyVu has a design that looks more like your idea. They make a model that looks like sunglasses where the lower half of the lenses are taken up by LCDs. Vuzix also has a model that will display 3D. This works because you can display a slightly different perspective to each eye with the 2 separate LCDs. It's like those old plastic Viewmasters only with video.

[DeltaPhi79]

Are they really expensive?

[NightFlyyer]

About $300 for VR glasses, and my Eye Implant concept would be much much more. LOL.

[NightFlyyer]

Cool. They never had them 30 years ago,when I had this idea and it would be neat if the camera manufacturers could get into this business to bring the prices down.

[piperpilot26]

wow!! you used to tune microwave filters? what where they used for!! up untill this past may, I was working for radio frequency systems tuning pcs/aws filters for cell phone towers.

[NightFlyyer]

They filters I worked on passed only certain frequencies through and were used on the first Space Shuttles. They were tedious to tune, as you know

[Soldatnatio]

you think you can make it so you can connect it on your camera but wirelessy

that way you can use the glasses and have the camera onboard your airplane and see what the camera sees in the POV of the RC airplane?

you understand what i mean?

lol

[shakeythumbs]

people are doing that ,its called FPV

[NightFlyyer]

Yes, I know, but not 30 years ago. LOL.

[NightFlyyer]

I understand. HMMM...theres an idea. Thanks.

[BuffaloWarrior7]

yep my dentist has those so you can watch movies or even hulu while getting work done its really nice

[Soldatnatio]

was he doing your teeth at the same time lol

imagine if he does that while doing work

[BuffaloWarrior7]

no the patient gets to wear them while they do work

[Soldatnatio]

sweet

thats pretty cool

how much do you think they are?

[NightFlyyer]

Im seeing stuff for vid cames at around $300. Would like to see camera makers get on board and do it for less.

[852147369retard]

cccol

[patrickfight1]

Awsome invention i wish i had a pair

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks.  Me too.

[DarthWater7]

First Ever view and comment and rate!!!!!

Darthwater7

[FREAK9364]

first

[FREAK9364]

Thats a great Idea Dave, with todays tech it could be perfect.

[NightFlyyer]

Yes. thanks.
