Ralph Osterhout: Augmented Reality Glasses

The most recent reports are that Microsoft is in the process of acquiring the Osterhout Design Group. He who has thought longest and deepest about the practicality and applicability of A/R Glasses. Listen to his goals, infinite focus with crisp overlay, high resolution, sunglasses sized, small form factor for the optics and we could safely add to his criterion low weight and low power. Sculley said at the CC the other day that only eMagin Displays could achieve the brightness, low SWAP and small form factor necessary for this application. And the last thing you want to do Team Oculus  is isolate the brain from your environment like putting on a fully enclosed Head Mounted Display.
