From the series When Dreams Become Reality:
At SID Display Week 2008,
Microsivion presented its advanced UltraMiniature PicoP Display Engine, which introduced in cell phones is capable to project full-color images.
Among the uses of this advanced engine are
cell phone projection, special eyeglasses and projection displays in cars. The large applicability is permitted by the modular and flexible architecture.
The mobile device eyewear will allow the user:
• Give a speech while information is streamed to your eyeglasses in real time
• Present to a crowd with your notes secretly stowed away in your eye glasses
• Extend your everyday computing environment to include your eyewear display
• Walk down the street, seeing your favorite friends show up "on screen" 2 blocks and 1 cafe away
• Receive turn by turn directions as you walk toward your destination
• Review messages while on the go
• Create your personal big screen experience from mobile TV and video (occluded or escape mode)
• See building schematics and locations of others (especially useful for security or firefighters)
• View virtual recipes while cooking without losing your rhythm
After the integration into cars, this technology would display information in front of the driver for more convenience and safety.
The prototypes demonstrated included the new SHOW standalone pico projector for plug-and-play integration with mobile devices ranging from cell phones to gaming devices.
SD3000 uses a seethrough, full-color and wearable display technology platform with clear readability in bright light environments.
Next comes the full-color vehicle head-up display with high contrast and high bright levels, also based on the PicoP technology.

Personally I think it would nice if they could talk to the car and get speed and other vehicle information to display in the hud, not just navigation information.
It will be possible in the future I’m sure.
Any idea on when this sort of technology would be available to the general public?
“Microvision will be delivering beta units of our SD3000 HMD to the US Army at the end of this year for their evaluation. In May of 2007, we were awarded our second contract from the US Air Force to develop and deliver a see-through, full color eyewear display. We expect that development and delivery of this display will open up a lot of opportunities for this product capability in multiple vertical markets.” Ben Averch Global Product Manager, Wearable Displays.
That’s all we know for now. They are ready to commercialize the displays and we are waiting for a the next press release to find out news.
Fake
this is photoshopped
If the pictures here are photoshopped it doesn’t mean these technologies are fake. If you would have been at SID 2008 you’d have seen Microvision’s demos.
