Second Sight Screen Shipping Soon
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "HARDWARE" @ 01:00 AM
Last year, we posted a story about a "cool display adapter". Well, a new version is being shown publicly at Cebit, Cebit NY, E3, and FOSE in Washington, DC for the first time next week. The product should ship in 4-6 weeks time from now – though the pricing is not available yet.
"Many applications require the full screen display of a laptop AND the pocket sized portability of a PDA. Second Sight delivers this, as it offers the equivalent of a desktop monitor in a low profile, compact form factor. The M2100 is the small and light (sic), weighing less than 2 oz. So light you won't know you're wearing it! Second Sight is easily readable in either daylight or darkness. The display connects directly to virtually any CompactFlash (CF) or PCMCIA slot on PDAs and notebooks. Our software for Pocket PC based PDAs, allow for full VGA screen information (640X480 pixels) to be displayed on the M2100 display, giving the user, access to high resolution content from images to schematics and more." Yes, schematics are all fine and well, but what about the games? :wink:
So, landscape VGA (640X480) at 60Hz refresh rate a few cm away from your eye. Can you guys see yourselves using this kind of device and what would you use it for? Is it took too geeky for words, or just the thing for your busy tech filled lives?
Oh and by the way, you *will* be assimilated! :robot: :lol:
