Lumus
Vision
Lumus has
a product vision which, if they can bring it to market, could open
the door to true augmented reality. As of February 2010 the product
is still slated for launch in late 2010.

Lumus
eyeglasses employ a Light-guide Optical Element (LOE) - a patented,
disruptive technology which enables a breakthrough, ultra-thin lens
which overcomes the inherent thickness of conventional optics and
displays large, high resolution and full color images in front of
the eye. Image content from any portable digital device is
projected into the side of the LOE. As the image travels to the
center of the lens, it is reflected into the eye via embedded
see-through elements which create the effect of viewing a large
screen, like watching a 60" screen from a distance of 10 ft or a
600” screen from a distance of 100 ft.

Seeing through – seeing
beyond
Lumus’ unique see-through displays are the optimal solution for
situational awareness when viewing content. While they display a
huge screen which appears even larger over distance, the see
through capabilities still offer the transparency necessary to know
what is going on around you, eliminating the effects of fatigue or
dizziness. Similarly, the translucent screen enables you to perform
other tasks while maintaining constant hands-free connectivity to
critical information.
