My friend in Austin sounds like he has hooked me up with a VR headset that does the Augmented Reality thing. It uses cameras and sensors to put your VR environment on what you see, and interact with the VR from things you touch and move in the real world. Like the Virtual Reality stuff you see where you use a glove to move around in the environment. Instead the new thing is it can see and use your bare hand (or anything else you program). A simple example was walking around a car in a showroom. You point at or touch things and it pops up balloons explaining the features you selected. Or instead of looking at the map on your navigation, wear the glasses and it puts your route on your route like the down markers on televised football games.

The kicker is I need to produce some kind of simple demo of an application for it. Says he would be able to get me producing content for the sale of the glasses and thinks there is a idea out there that will make lots of bucks.

Just don't know if it is going to go gang busters, or go the way of 3D TV.
