The
start-up Meta from New York is developing a wearable computing eye
wear"Meta1" which enters into the 3D space and uses your hands for
interaction in the virtual world.It consists of stereoscopic 3D glasses
and a 3D camera attached to the glasses to capture the hand movements.

By wearing these glasses one can immerse in the augmented reality created by it.
Overtime
apps would be created for Meta 1 like the information cards,3D games
which can be manipulated and controlled by hand gestures.Other
applications for architecture,medicine where 3D graphic processing is
very useful will also be developed.
The augmented reality concept has been shown in feature films like "Avatar",Iron Man" series.Now it's really close to reality.
The
current generation of meta is a bit bulky and tethered to an external
computer,but the company would like to modify the existing one .The next
generation will include an on-board computer,will be lighter than the
previous gen.and will be 'trendy'.
