Olympus has developed its mobile Eye-Trek device that comes with an integrated 3.2mm x 2.4mm LCD panel located in front of the right eye, which functions as a 3.8" display which is located 50cm ahead from the viewer's perspective. This LCD display features 521 x 218 delta-aligned pixels and is used to show the user information of the current location as well as places of interest, recommendations and trivia. This information is transmitted wirelessly, so a certain network application must be created to encompass as many places as possible for it to be truly effective. Guess this is more of a virtual yellow pages/map for pedestrians. Hopefully it won't distract us too much until we walk into an oncoming bus.
