Sara Mautino's insight:
"The headline feature is a new Si-OLED (silicon-based Organic Light Emitting Diode) 720p display, replacing the qHD TFT LCD display of its predecessor and projecting sharper images and more vibrant colors in front of your eyes. These new glasses are also 20 percent lighter than the BT-200 models they're replacing, which should make for a more comfortable wearing experience over longer periods of time. Oh, and the device can take photos and videos too, thanks to an integrated 5-megapixel camera (another upgrade over the BT-200)."

In my childhood I discovered an interesting phenomenon: if I connected a light source to a sufficiently amplified television receiver, and waved the light around in front of a video camera, I could get the light to function as a 3D augmented reality display that would overlay the sightfield of the camera, as virtual information on top of physical reality. I grew up at a time when technology was transparent and easy to understand. Radios and televisions used transparent electronic lamps called "vacuum tubes" where you could see inside them and they revealed all their secrets. I then witnessed a transition into an era of opacity in which scientific principles were concealed inside integrated circuits with closed-source firmware. And while machines became more "secretive", we entered a new era in which they also began to watch us and sense our presence, yet reveal nothing about themselves (see a short essay ...

And is there a future where humans and computers can work more effectively together?"
