「Terminate the pants」「INVALID COMMAND」

本Blog雖然經常介紹一些關於AR(增廣實境)的應用構想,像是AR-FIGURE、Aurasma等,
但其中所提到過的多數產品幾乎都還是以手機和電腦螢幕為載體,
對於日常的生活使用實在有些彆扭;頭盔、指示鏡作為平台的產品雖亦有出現,
然價格和功用卻又不是一般小老百姓能負擔的起的了─從癮科技看到的報導,
美國公司Vuzix便將推出一款名為”STAR 1200“的頭戴式顯示器(=眼鏡),
不但有著六個向度的頭部動作偵測及攝影鏡頭，還能夠及時將周邊影像送回電腦運算,
再將處理後的資訊疊加於鏡片之上…..而且,”僅只”要4999美元!

(以下內容引述自Vuzix STAR 1200 Augmented Reality System)
…..
…..A high-speed 1080p high definition camera with a dedicated USB connection
enables exceptional performance for marker or object recognition.
The camera, seen by the computer as a standard webcam,
allows for easy adaptation and application support without proprietary software…..
…..A miniature 6-DOF (Degree of Freedom) head tracker with compass plugs directly
into the STAR 1200 display module providing cooked or raw tracker data
through the STAR system’s control interface.
A VGA Control Box interfaces with Windows based netbook,
laptop or desktop computers or lithium ion rechargeable Wrap PowerPak+ connects
to the iPhone/iPad family of mobile devices, enabling tracker support…..
…..Removable noise-isolating earphones plug directly into the STAR 1200 for high-fidelity audio.
For applications where an alternate audio system is more appropriate,
the earphones can be removed without hampering the STAR system’s performance…..
…..Vuzix is one of the oldest names in virtual and augmented reality and decades of experience
have been packed into the STAR 1200 design offering fit,
comfort and adaptability like no other eyewear product.
From it Accutilt® display adjustment, independent left and right eye focal adjustment and
the most adjustable nose bridge system available, the STAR provides comfort and functional
in an aesthetically pleasing package equally at home in the lab or in public…..
…..AR is an emerging market and Vuzix recognizes the need for custom applications and adaptation.
The STAR 1200’s display system is constructed using an independent display module
containing all the key hardware elements. This module is detachable from the provided
sunglass style frame and can be easily remounted in a framework of your choice,
such as behind safety glasses or an alternate head-mount apparatus…..

從官方介紹來看似乎並未附帶軟體,不過有提供免費開發工具包,
由於沒有對市面軟體的支援Demo,一下就開口要4999美元不知會多少人買帳呢? ww
但想到”只”要台幣近15萬元,就可以像Terminator般顯示眼前人物戰鬥力數值(歐派的意味),
甚至掃瞄、暴力演算衣服下面的裸體和內褲圖樣…..

呀,真能這樣的話4999美元很值得啊啊~ (臉紅)
