Greetings from Brazil again, OK so I don't get any feedback..que sera,sera. In any case I have to ask...from what I have read and understand about the concept of eyetap...the computer image is over layed the image of reality that is replicated and combined to represent the real world as seen.....the image of real world is interfaced with real world so
why doesn't this model of eyetap have this...from reading forum post the image of reality is inverted....the camera is mounted full front head on ...the Real eyetap has camera mounted 90 degrees with mirror to invert image to combine with head on point of view when projected through the mini display which has mirror to re-invert image...wish you had video showing the image of your model eyetap so I could see if the reality image is right or inverted...
anybody on team have any feedback about this topic...I have been waiting 20 years to build but so far you model seems to be lacking something...like proof of concept...anybody?
Hey Poague,
Thanks for your feedback! Sorry for our delayed reply as well. You mentioned a very good point, the camera. It is the key to differentiate different generations of EyeTaps. The first generation that Steve invented in 1978 is defined as any "Eyeglass that has a camera and display integrated into it." That is what you are seeing with our current design on this website. Starting from second generation EyeTap, the user should have a glass eye that can function both as a camera and display with a diverter. We have been working on this new design over the past few month, and we are glad to tell you that we already have the ready for second generation OpenEyeTap. We are still working on the tutorials to put it online, and make it available. So, please wait still and get ready to build your first EyeTap with aligned computer vision and human vision.
Can you post the stl of the design in picture?
@mickey we are working on the clean up of the stl these days. The design in the pic is an early prototype. We will try to share the stl as soon as we can. thanks for your patient!
There is hope for humanity...I been waiting like 20 years...I can wait a little more..just hope to get this working by next year cause I am 66 years old with cancer and don't know how long I will be here...hope to be here long enough to get one...before world drowns from glacier melt down..in meantime I have been hacking together parts to build one..I need to use old parts from old HMDs I bought off Ebay. Hard put to buy new parts imported because of %150 import tax here....wish \i could come visit team and pick your brains. Keep up the good works...maybe next year I come visit and buy the new parts I need...or just buy Meta 2 or MS hololens2...
