Lumus is a heads up display (HUD) manufacturer better known for its military-grade products, some of which have been deployed in US Air Force F-16 and A-10 helmets. Its latest effort, the DK-40 dev kit, is an attempt to steer its tech toward the consumer market. And yes, it looks a lot like Google Glass. But instead of projecting notifications on the outskirts of your peripheral vision, the entire right lens of Lumus' Android-powered eyewear is a 640 x 480 see-through display. The DK-40 also includes a motion sensor and 5-megapixel camera necessary for a true AR experience. Though its sleek design is more socially acceptable than its fighter pilot headgear, Lumus doesn't intend to mass-produce anything just yet. The glasses are still deep in development stages, harboring only 1-2 hours worth of battery life. Instead, the company simply wants to promote the adoption of its lens technology. The entire monocular kit and SDK will debut at CES 2014, but won't ship to OEMs and "select developers" until the end of Q1 2014.

Locomotion tech works in tandem with Oculus Rift and Wii remote to immerse players in Liberty City
Austrian firm Cyberith has shown off its virtual reality tech the Virtualizer, enabling players to walk through the world of Grand Theft Auto IV.
The locomotion device, recently featured in our Develop 100 profiling Europe's top game start-ups, works in tandem with VR tech such as the Oculus Rift and the Wii Remote and reflects the players real-world movement in-game.
This is achieved by integrated sensors for motion detection, which allows players to move, run, jump, crouch and strafe in-game.

NVIDIA Shield owners who downloaded a new software update a couple days ago not only received the ability to stream PC games over 1080p, but were also given the keys to try out NVIDIA's GRID cloud gaming service before anyone else. Similar to Gaikai and Onlive, GRID essentially lets you play games that are hosted on NVIDIA's servers rather than your home PC. Well, that service is finally out in open beta to Shield owners -- as long as they live in Northern California. NVIDIA's testing this out with just their San Jose servers for now, and you'll need aGameStream-ready 5GHz WiFi router, a minimum of 10Mbps download speed and a sub-40ms ping time to have a decent gaming experience. Those outside of the area can give it a go as well of course, as long as they're able to meet those bandwidth requirements -- the GRID beta app will run a network test to see if your connection passes muster. If you've already downloaded that aforementioned software update, you should already have the app, but you can download it separately from the Google Play Store as well.

In the world of head-worn displays, Google Glass seems to lately get most of the praise as well as most of the dirty looks, though it's far from alone. At this year's DroidCon in London, I talked with Epson Europe product manager Marc-Antoine Godfroid about a very different kind of head-worn display: the Moverio BT-100. Epson's display is running a Google operating system, but it isn't competing with Glass, at least not directly. The hardware in this case is a relatively high-definition stereo display meant for immersion (whether that means information overlays or watching recorded video) hooked to an external control unit running Android, rather than the sparer, information-dashboard, all-in-one approach of Glass. One other big difference: Epson's stereo, full-color headset is cheaper than Glass, and available now. Hit the link below to see what it looks like.

Among the possible uses for Google Glass that early adopters are dreaming up, you can now add 'surgical assistance' to the list. With approval from the institutional review board, a UCSF cardiothoracic surgeon recently utilized Glass during procedures by utilizing its voice activation features to refer to patient x-ray scans. Aimed at providing surgeons with the most up-to-date patient data, a startup named VitaMedicals is building apps to stream in patient records and live scans to the device. Even though it's early days for Glass, its potential in the medical space is huge and could revolutionize how doctor's access and apply information from patient records.

LaForge Optical, the creators behind the Smartspecks unveiled their answer to Google Glass to VentureBeat, claiming, “you don’t have to look like a nerd to be the most tech savvy person in the room.”
The device from the Massachusetts startup does what its mainstream counterpart does, including offering directions, take pictures, record videos, display Facebook, Instagram updates plus much more.
It even connects to the cloud via the phone it is connected to. The main difference is that all its intelligence is stored safely away in an app, on that phone.
Corey Mack, CEO at LaForge Optical, told VentureBeat: “We designed the simplest most minimalist device we could. Anyone who wants Google Glass, in a more conventional form factor can have it.
Additionally our lens technology allows for people who need prescription lenses to be able to use our glasses.”
Rochester Optical recently announced that it was soon to be launching prescription lenses for Google Glass, but will most likely cost on top of the price of the gadget.
Pre-orders for the device will be opening sometime next week on the company’s website for select customers, priced at $200, however will also launch on Kickstarter for $400 to gain more interest, gain more customers, and get the finding they need to go mainstream.

Glu Mobile CEO sees potential for a wearable computing revolution as mobile's big players only get bigger
Google Glass is giving Glu Mobile CEO Niccolo de Masi visions of the future. Speaking with Venture Beat, the executive said that the software giant's latest gadget could be incredibly disruptive.
"Every five or 10 years, something more revolutionary than evolutionary comes along," de Masi said. "It's been six or seven years since the first iPhone. This could be one of those moments. The next seven years could well be a wearable wave. It could happen as fast or even faster than the smartphone, this PC in your pocket."
Glu Mobile isn't waiting to find out if that will be the case. The company has already created one game, Spellista, for the Google Glass GDK beta program, a move de Masi said will give Glu a technological edge if the platform actually does take off.
"If you think about how quickly hardware and software progress these days, this thing-I'm sure you've heard that the prototypes now are not even two years old," de Masi said. "They were the size of a laptop. Look at it now. Imagine where it'll be in two more years or four more years. There's a miniaturization opportunity where that could get small enough so that I could go to Lenscrafters and install it as an option on my glasses. That day will come. The question is when."
As for the smartphone market where Glu currently makes its money, de Masi said the big players in the space are increasing their share of the pie faster than the market is growing.
"The market is doubling every year, but the top 10 games are getting bigger at an even faster rate," de Masi said. "We went from 2010, where a $10 million new game like Gun Bros was a big game, to today, where it's a $50 million game if you're in the same grossing position."
While he acknowledged there are opportunities for smaller players to emerge and succeed, much as Supercell did, de Masi predicts that by 2015, "every company of any significance will be public."

Google has put the Glass Explorer Edition up for sale, following the recent release of the Glass Development Kit.
The hardware, which has been made available for purchase by developers via a code in an email, follows the release of the GDK, which allows developers to further control aspects of the smart eyewear.
The Explorer Edition of the Glass uses a high resolution display placed just above the right eye to give the impression of viewing a 25-inch high definition screen eight feet away.
The Glass also includes a five-megapixel camera with 720P video recording, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 12GB of storage for apps and media.
A consumer version of the Glass is predicted for released next year.

Can Oculus Rift retrain your brain and eyes to see in three dimensions again? Can it treat conditions such as Strabismus (crossed eye) Diplopia (double vision) and Amblyopia (lazy eye)?A Rift game called Diplopia claims it can. "Measurable improvements" can be achieved in a month, and it's effective on adults as well as children.The game itself is like a 3D Breakout. The clever part comes from Oculus Rift being able to display a different image for each eye. It sends incomplete images that force both eyes to work together, and having them work together is, after all, the ultimate goal.

[Carnivore] over at Droid Build is working on a very awesome Android Gaming Controller called the EmuDroid 4.
It’s a work in progress at the moment, but so far it looks utterly fantastic. He is combining an android tablet with a USB SNES controller, an OTG adapter, and an inductive charging unit. He’s cramming them all into a custom designed, 3D printed controller body, which is semi-reminiscent of an Xbox 360 controller — minus the joysticks.
The forum posts go over his current progress and outline the ups and downs of 3D printing a project as precise as this. There is everything from designing it in segments to suit the small build volume of his UP 3D printer, to dealing with issues like delamination from the print bed, and seamlessly bonding the parts together. It’s a great learning experience, and we love to see projects in progress like this. Best of all, he’s planning on giving it away for FREE when it’s complete!
We’ve seen lots of modified controllers used with Android before, but we think this integrated solution really takes the cake, at least for now anyway!

Let’s face it, most of the time we’re hacking for no other reason than sheer enjoyment. So we love to see hacks come about that can really make a difference in people’s lives. This time around it’s a video game designed to exercise your eyes. [James Blaha] has an eye condition called Strabismus which is commonly known as crossed-eye. The issue is that the muscles for each eye don’t coordinate with each other in the way they need to in order to produce three-dimensional vision.
Recent research (linked in the reference section of [James'] post) suggests that special exercises may be able to train the eyes to work correctly. He’s been working on developing a video game to promote this type of training. As you can see above, the user (patient?) wears an Oculus Rift headset which makes it possible to show each eye slightly different images, while using a Leap Motion controller for VR interaction. If designed correctly, and paired with the addictive qualities of games, this my be just what the doctor ordered. You know what they say, practice makes perfect!

For veteran gamers who enjoyed Doom and Quake, it's the end of an era -- id Software co-founder John Carmack has left the game studio to concentrate all his efforts on his Chief Technical Officer role at Oculus VR. It was just too "challenging" to divide attention between the two companies, he explains. id's Tim Willits says in a statement that the departure won't affect any existing projects, but it does leave the firm without the insights ofone of the game industry's brightest programmers. However, his exit is good news for VR fans; Carmack can now pour all his energy into developing cutting edge wearable displays. Check out our recent video interview with him after the break.
