The project is interesting first of all because it shows that they can complete augmented reality glasses.
The device is an augmented reality glasses Epson Moverio released last year and commercially available at a price of $ 699, plus the already common combination of infrared cameras for motion detection today, similar to those used in Leap Motion or Microsoft Kinect. ')
Points are available for pre-order at a price of 667 dollars and against the likely price of Google Glass and Oculus Rift in 300 dollars - not very impressive.
Interesting is the bundle of augmented reality glasses with a motion tracking device. The video clearly demonstrates some of the possible uses of such a bundle.
On the Oculus Rift version for the consumer market it is very likely that there will be a camera that is frankly needed at least for security reasons, and considering the cheap cost of camera modules today, it would be foolish not to install them. It is possible that there will be infrared cameras for tracking movements.
And even if Oculus does not install cameras, there are already projects ofadditions for Rift that will fix this flaw.
In my opinion, it is with the release of Oculus Rift, and not Google Glass, you can expect an augmented reality boom.
