EPFL develops its own augmented glasses

EPFL scientists are developing a prototype of a pair of "augmented" glasses. You'll be able to read messages, look at your agenda, and receive a variety of information directly on the lenses.

Yeah, the aftermarket shops like West Coast Customs uses a HUD type for projecting video onto the back window glass. I knew of a Buick that had the feature but I never heard if that car with the HUD display even went into production. I've never seen one on the road.

General Motors has been doing HUD displays since the 80's, just google Buick HUD. Its not as sophisticated as the F16 but shows speed temperature and milage. BMW also has HUD displays as well. I have no clue why they are not standard in every car, seems so simple.

I'm still waiting almost 20 years now, for cars to have HUD display's like F16 fighters. I wonder how these glasses will cause your eyesight to get worse with this kind of technology.

As a game developer myself I can't wait to put my hands on this kind of AR technology. There just so many ways to expand our reality with this.

Very nice! I like how the glasses were 3D printed! And I suspect the lenses were laser-cut? :D

Good work, great technology, and great application for this science.
