It seems nowadays that the mobile phone (including Treo, Blackberry) is the front runner in the race to be the personal communications device, displaying text, video… all sorts of media. A big challenge is still screen size. TV producers, like the one for the CSI syndicate, are considering simplifying CSI images for viewing on tiny screens. We are already tailoring material for RSS and pod-casts. Here’s another idea for displaying complex rich media.Back in the ’90s, I was searching for new product/feature ideas for a company that made multimedia processors (the graphics and audio engines that drive game consoles). A company proposed that they can implement a feature where a semi-transparent image is projected from the frame of a pair of glasses onto the wearer’s retina. The wearer (alone) will see a virtual screen that’s as big as you want, and also be able to see behind the screen so they don’t bump into things while they’re moving. This work was funded by research for fighter pilots’ heads-up displays.If virtual keyboards and mic(rophone)s and speakers were integrated, then the communications can be two-way.Then the social challenge will be telling apart ‘mobile, connected people’ from schizophrenics with weak vision who are experiencing auditory and/or visual hallucinations! :) ”
