Meta 1 -Enter the virtual world

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'.
