AR Vision: WearCam + WearComp + WearDisp
Crazy idea... 35 years ago...
Now a $241 billion industry!...
Augmediated Reality comprises 3 elements:
• Wearable Camera ("WearCam"), connected to a
• Wearable Computer ("WearComp"), connected to a
• Wearable Display ("WearDisp").
WearComp + WearDisp is a well-researched field.
But WearCam is not: cameras are always merely added on as an afterthought — zero consideration to the light flow path!!!
"Veillance" and "Vertising" in the "Vironment": New possibilities
Nature (human) and Technology (computer) combined!
Thin strip of metal wraps around the head;
No hinges: 1-piece construction.
Sleek slender metal frame, in one continuous piece
45-degree glass
Fiber optics
Not foldable

Conclusions: Principles and Practice
Principles:
- HI (Humanistic Intelligence)
- NUI (Natural User Interface, Mann 2001)
- Theory of Glass (Gen-1 to Gen-5, Mann 2001)
- Architecture of One: Wearable Computing is Urban Design
Ongoing projects:
- HDR Imaging Chip: superposimetrics, computational photography
- Seeing Eye-to-Eye: shared mediated reality, distributed sensing, sousveillant design — imaging, communication, and computation
- Personal Safety Device + Health: dietary intake, actional systems
