Valve's New Hardware Project is Wearable "Steam Glasses"

[Blobpie]

ooooo this is going to be so awesome!

 

[teebeeohh]

So I am wearing glasses and my eyes are literally incompatible with contacts. Lets just hope any kind of neural interface does not project ads in my dreams. Unless it's porn

 

[chinlamp]

Really? Both Google AND Valve are doing research into Augmented Reality?

Fuck the glasses, the people in limb replacement need to hurry up, I want my augmented cybereyes within the next couple decades.

Now all we need is the return of magic to the world and a few laws giving corporations to much power and we've got shadowrunning as a viable career option.

Am I the only one who is scared that having everyone wear Google Goggles would finally allow them to take over the world? D:

I don't like this at all. Google is evil.

 

[Vrach]

Cool, though I'd prefer to see contacts. How exactly would we navigate though? Motion controls with gloves as peripherals?

 

[TimeLord]

So basically HUD glasses?

 

[lapan]

Didn't google announce something similar? Guess they are gonna try to get a slice of their pie.

 

[The White Hunter]

So is this somehow related to Google's Project Glass? Or am I just dreaming fluffy dreams?

I was gonna say this. I know Valve are a big company but is competing directly with Google a good idea? Google are pretty big heavy weights, I mean they did a pretty good job of muscling into apples territory with smart phones.

At any rate, I shall maintain my stance on such technology: give me a local map in the corner so I can't get lost in cities like I always do, and then I shall adopt 3rd/4th gen.

Augmented reality shmorgmented reality I want my flying car!

 

[Casual Shinji]

I'm just hoping for a real life Dennou Coil. Man, Densuke was the best character in that. such an awesome dog.

Wow man, Dennou Coil was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this article. I don't remember too much of this show, but I do know that its concept is one of the few fictional ideas I would want to see realized; PC glasses.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Didn't the original rumour consist of game pads? I don't know what the link between the two might be, or am I missing something?

Not to mention easily shrugging of the mighty MicroSoft here and there in search engine battles.

 

[Evil Smurf]

don't be stupid people, this is what is looks like

Spoiler

 

[YodaUnleashed]

So it's basically those futuristic gaming headsets where the virtual world is connected directly to the neural pathways connected to your brain and you feel like your in the virtual environment for real and are not just watching it on a screen. Yeah, I'm sure that's it.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

I already have these. But it's gonna be cool nonetheless.

 

[zehydra]

I totally want this, but I would awfully surprised if people actually were willing to accept this. Imagine if this were nintendo developing this, you'd all be complaining about how "gimmicky" this product is.

 

[Dr Jones]

I'm really looking forward to having huds in real life! Will be damn awesome (though I can barely bring myself to play on my iPhone on the bus, as I find it embarrassing).

That's a stupid idea!
Everyone knows steam will fog up the lenses!

Oh you <.<

 

[The White Hunter]

Not to mention easily shrugging of the mighty MicroSoft here and there in search engine battles.

Indeed! I'd love to see Valve take on Google, or specifically see Google consume Valve.

I tip my hat off to you sir.

Hoping for a answering selection a la terminator so i can say Fak YU asshoole to people.
