Headset combines virtual and augmented reality

[Mr.Duck]

 

 

Two months ago, Sulon Technologies broke cover with a video showcasing a bulky augmented reality and virtual reality system. Fast forward to today. The chunky backpack and headset combo has been replaced by a much, much smaller second prototype -- it's just a headset with a power cord coming out the back. Oh, and it's got a name: The Cortex. If you're a tinkerer, you can pre-order the dev kit version to follow this new prototype -- the company claims this more polished hardware will be shipping out in Q4 of 2014. It'll cost you $500 to get this particular peek into the future, though, so read on to find out what it's like wandering around with the dev kit's hacked-together portable predecessor on your melon.

 

P.S: İ was expecting this and i am really excited about how the end product will look and feel i am planning on getting a oculus rift but maybe i might switch to something like this

Looks interesting...

Do we know specs on what it does?

It's a bit weird having a single camera at the front though.  You'd see the VR stuff in 3d but anything else in front of you in 2d.
