These contact lenses can serve as Heads Up Displays while allowing the user to still see what is in front of them. Very cool though it sounds like they are still a ways away.

The Port Authority in NYC has added the world's largest transparent media facade. It is cool technology, though it seems kind of wasted on such a bland building.

An interesting video showing how glass manufacturer, Corning Glass, envisions how glass will be used in technology in the near future. The gist involves a lot of ubiquitous glass display and touch control surfaces.

While a very cool idea, don't let this make you think that your clothes will replace your smartphone one day. Do you really want to wear the same shirt every day or deal with the complexities of transferring your data securely to each day's clothes?

The real use of this type of technology will be adding another level of perception and connectivity to your day to day lives. As the article points out, adding sensors that detect radiation or monitor your vital signs are a possibility. But what about a tee-shirt that understands your movements and gestures and can use them as input into other devices. Or perhaps it could dynamically display information when viewed through a reality overlay system, be they glasses, contact lenses, or just your smartphone screen. By embedding information and computation directly into our clothes they become even more an extension of ourselves.

Interesting article about a company called Axeda that is connecting all sorts of devices to the network to leverage them as business objects.

"Ever since Microsoft Kinect debuted last year, controller-free gesture interfaces have gone mainstream. As popular as it is, the tech could stand some improvement: it would be more precise if users were able to manipulate 3D images in midair, a la Tom Cruise’s elaborate setup in Minority Report, instead of eyeballing things on a screen. Now a company from Russia has a working prototype of just such a device."
