Unveiling the MIT wearable technology project at TED, and projecting the future of the integrated projector.
The cell phone camera+projector around her neck allows for some cool demos:
• Projecting a social network tag cloud on the shirt of person you are talking to at a party… You can see, but they can’t: “dork” “bad date in 2004”
• projecting a working phone dial pad on your hand
• projecting a watch on your wrist when you want to see the time
and more
The concept video just went online.

Dorks will neutralize such semantically hostile electromagnetic radiation by developing adaptive optical countermeasure systems anyway

when my husband thought through all this in the 90's, he envisioned goggles (or glasses) that allowed for an augmented reality, using GPS and the web for projecting information in places, called it "Worldboard."

@restlessthought: I'm also still waiting for Virtual Light-style glasses, but this looks like a step in that direction, even if not quite as discreet.

I saw that this photo was under Creative Commons. Just wanted to let you know that I used it unaltered in a blog post as well as linked back to your professional profile and TED. Thanks so much for a great shot.
