MetaPro SpaceGlasses-Visual eXcellence
Meta Pro SpaceGlasses
Meta Pro launch the SpaceGlasses in July. 3D glasses that project your smart phone, computer or even apps inside the lenses so you become a mix of Iron Man and Minority Report. Competition for Google Goggles or will they just buy the company?
So until the flexi computer screen is finally released, this is the new interface that we will all be using. Or will these simply render the flexi screen redundant? No need to carry anything anymore. The glasses will bring us our smart phone, laptop, latest news and information on everything we see around. Immediate identification of new faces, direct link to their LinkedIn page, Facebook page, you name it. No one will ever be a stranger again, their full CV accessible as you pass them by for a fee. Think of the dating possibilities, you could be informed of their preferences and relationship status, even their mood at that exact instant.
An advertisers dream. Every product you look at in a shop will be accompanied by similar products in the shop next door, who knows you are there thanks to Geo Location in the phone and glasses. Ads for the same product but cheaper online. Even people themselves could be accompanied by ads for the company they work for or outside companies who bid for their space. Brands projected on their forehead, clothing, hands or recommended by them.
Every restaurant you pass will show the faces of friends who have been there and liked it. You could watch videos of their night out at said eatery, or menu recommendations, favorite wine or exciting new cocktail.
Just think instant access to every library and resource on the web. You never need look up that quote, statistic or lyric again. Word search through Wikipedia, faster than you can say "I have total recall".
The possibilities are endless.
The SpaceGlasses boasts a giant 3D holographic HD screen, 40 deg field of view (15 x Google Glass) Ultra high-end sleek light weight design. Independent pocket computing power.
You can change your screen size to suit you on the fly, and have access to all your apps. Link with your laptop which is now a hologram and you can place it anywhere in the world around you. Work with unlimited extra screens no matter where you are. Just like in Minority Report your ideas are now a hologram that you can shape using your hands.

Is this a game changer or merely a gadget fad?
Whatever it becomes it will happen so fast, in 6 months it will either be gone or so ubiquitous we will have forgotten what life was like without them.
How did I manage without my SpaceGlasses/Goggles?
Nomophobia is the stress that people feel when they forget/lose their mobile phone or are out of network and very real it is. Try leaving your mobile at home for a week. Bet you can't do it. So the next phobia is Gogglephobia, where suddenly your access to instant and complete information is lost, you only know what you carry in your head. You heard it here first!
