Future Vision 2012: Augmented Reality Predictions
Monday, October 26, 2009 at 12:41PM Within three years (in time for ISMAR 2012), which is either a very short period of time or an eternity, depending on your point of view, I predict the following:
* 1 Million wearable displays, with transparent lenses, reasonable field of view, integrated accelerometers, and possibly a high-bandwidth short distance wireless connection, sold on the commercial market.
* Market generating more than $1B in revenues
* Vuzix currently the best positioned to deliver technology and products to the commercial market.
* Vuzix, Microvision, and Lumus Optical the current leaders in wearable display technology
* Companies like Sony, Apple, and others will have branded versions of their own. Probably with licensed display tech, or the fruit (ha! apples) of their own R&D.
* There will be at least
