InfinitEye HMD Brings 210 Degree FOV

Using the same idea as the Rift (counter-distortion of the display) this new prototype HMD brings a massive massive massive 210 degree field of view. Wow.

And they created the perfect demo - the Death Star trench run...

(There are hints that a similiar trench run demo would be out on the Oculus Rift - but it still hasn't materialized yet. C'mon).

Transmissive Carpet

Philips recently announced a new carpet that acts as a display.  Good story at geek.com.

This looks like it could be a very compelling way to augment the space of many spaces.

I'd love to see how much of the display can be controlled, it opens up opportunities for coupling this technology with tracking users. Maybe a personal follow-me sign that leads you to where you need to go? Or display the price of products?

Due for release sometime in 2014!

Anyone have a project for it?
