This just seems too good to be true. And why do they have a patent on it if it's open source? Do they mean just the code? (It only looks like it has the MIT license, so assuming just the code). IF it's real, then it's pretty neat.
I want an open source monochrome vector display delivered by laser to my retinas directly. I would slambuy such a thing and dedicated the rest of my life to making the best pocketable chorded keyboard. I, like many of you, am very good at telling a computer what to do with letters and symbols. I spend a lot of time in voice calls and I often write little scripts while I'm talking to answer questions, ballpark numbers…
I think it would be quite fun to have a HUD like that for daily life.

Which is too bad, since I see AR as potentially being a massively useful device for those with memory issues, dementia, or who generally need some help with things like this.
I'd have given anything for that 35 years ago. First thing on any contract job, I'd make a map of desks & names - but it always tripped me up when people slipped over to work at a different desk!

>* Turn by turn directions I wouldn't touch any kind of AR use case while driving. Seems ripe for lawsuits when you're obscuring a driver's view (especially with an eyepiece compared to putting a HUD on the windshield)
Once head tracking is working, couldn't you show the AR view in the exact same place that a windshield HUD would appear?
But if you say this is safe to use while driving, you need to handle situations where "this AR app had a bug which drew a solid color over the entire view, obstructing my view, and caused me to miss the pedestrian", while a projected HUD has a limited area it can draw on.
If you can't/won't say it's safe to use while driving, then why develop the feature for driving?
This being an eye piece which has software control over your entire field of view has potential for danger.
Then you will have to make sure all of that doesn't replicate these results from the out set: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2015/07/heads-up-displays-in-ca...

Not even an exception for user-entered data. Like, I could conceivably take photos of people I meet, store those photos along with notes in the iOS notes app (or even a contact app) then create a panel of those photos so that I can tap the right person and bring up those notes when I see them again. AR would simply make this easier and faster. Unless the AR camera was hidden it would not make it different from a priv…

Presumably the university eventually sold the patents off and they're sitting in some dusty corporate vault now, but maybe they'll expire soon.
As someone with only 1 eye, this is quite suited to me! I am actually sad that the previous crop of "low cost, slim, not earth shattering" AR glasses all died out. A camera built into one stem and some simple text displayed for one eye would suffice for a ton of use cases. A killer app for me would be floating name tags above people's heads, but I imagine that would require better HW than what is available here. I'd…

Seems like one of those things that can't be stopped. It can be slowed, as Google has done, but eventually OSS will allow for it. If it is massively outlawed then it can be reduced, but even then it'll still be on the level of hidden cameras.
