It connects to the audio piece and works like a tiny monitor that projects an image through the really cool bug-eye monocle into my eye. It has lots of „serious‟ applications, but my favorite is to watch „Buffy‟. My mom has already realized that when the video is on, the lenses become less transparent. That way she knows if I‟m really paying attention to her or reading my email. She‟s caught on quickly. http://wearables.www.media.mit.edu/ projects/wearables/mit-ideo/ Pervasive Computing Means Overlaying the Physical and Cyber Realities Source: Virginia Tech/Univ.
