EyeTap is an Interesting idea, but this video does not explain what it is at all. Disappointing actually since Prof. Mann seems like a true visionary.

@bionicghost since your eye focuses a display right in front of your eye people suffering from miopia would in fact be able to see the environment without glasses since the eyetap only displays a 2d projection of your 3d environment in which the eye does not need to focus objects far away. if one was suffering of Hyperopia it would be a problem since they have difficulties in focusing near objects in contrast to the miopia patient having problems focusing distant objects.

Augmented reality is coming!

I wish I could find information on this technology and when it will be commercially available for people with visual impairments. There are few job opportunities for the visually impaired and the concept of electric or digital eye glasses designed to magnify small print could help lots of people find work they normally couldn't do. I would have thought this would be commercially available for consumers but I can't find it anywhere.

I guess Steve Mann, or at least the creator of this video, is a Delerium fan.
