This is one of the best reasons to start a startup: Because no mainstream company believes in the product category yet, and you know that the product category needs to become huge in order for civilization to advance in the direction of self-sustaining and space-faring. This is why I started a computer eyewear company http://epiphanyeyewear.com http://epiphanyeyewear.com (before Google Glass!). I have spoken with the world experts on Volumetric 3D display tech (such as the amazing Dr. Kurt Akeley of Lytro), and it is evident that a display as realistic as physical reality can be built with today's technology. I am determined to make this happen, and I know it will revolutionize education, human augmentation, and also energy-independence (we will have to construct and transport fewer physical things when we live in a virtual world).

Slick looking video camera you've got there. I was really excited for a second thinking it was an HDMI display device.

  Thanks! 2nd generation "in the lab" does video out, but in our user testing, video recording/sharing/streaming has been the main use case, and since manufacturing is always very very involved, we think the sane thing to do is to ship MVP hardware with really slick software, then scale our customer base, before shipping more hardware features later.

    It'll be awesome if you can do HDMI video on that nice variable shading sunglasses platform. Looking forward to 2nd-gen. Is there a mailing list I can sign up for?

Does this work for telepresence and if so how?
- jonmrodriguez 13y ago
  Yes, there is a livestreaming feature! You need to connect the glasses to a compatible tablet over USB, and then you can livestream from the glasses through the tablet to our social site https://yougen.tv https://yougen.tv, or to your Facebook wall (!), or to third-party apps.
