VRD in our lives

(picture taken from here)


After doing some research, i have found a website (click here to view) that lists some very interesting characteristics:

• Very small and lightweight, glasses mountable
• Large field of view, greater than 120 degrees
• High resolution, approaching that of human vision
• Full color with better color resolution than standard displays
• Brightness sufficient for outdoor use
• Very low power consumption
• True stereo display with depth modulation
  
• Capable of fully inclusive or see through display modes

After reading these characteristics it is very obvious that the VRD system has a great potential to replace any existing visual display system, like monitors and televisions.

Monitor: Imagine being able to surf the web with only a pair of glasses on, all the information in the world (how handy would this come in during your next MIS quiz).

Television: How many times do you fight with a relative to watch a specific channel on the television? How much room those a television take in a home? Imagine now that you can increase your entertainment pleasures and have more room in your house, while everybody is happy because they have their own pair!

For more inforation on ho VRD system and the potential they have to replace technology please read the article by Lynn Wiss.

Apart from that it would seem that the VRD would have greater influence on our lives by enhancing certain methods. (please see next post)
