DATA GLASS 3/A
SHIMADZU

Shimadzu has developed DataGlass, a small monocular lens head mounted display for a wearable PC. The product is designed to give the user access to information and reference anytime anywhere by carrying a PC anywhere anytime. The DataGlass lets the user check his PC anytime. Both dust- and water-proof, the DataGlass can be taken outside and can withstand rain coming in from all directions and even under harsh conditions such as a dusty construction site. The lens is available for either left or right eye wear and can be worn with regular glasses. When connected to a PC via analog RGB in the SVGA mode, the DataGlass allows the user to see a 10-inch-wide monitor screen 60cm in front of him. In the VGA mode, the monitor is around 8 inches wide. The DataGlass weighs only 120grams and is powered via the USB port, so it can be used in various situations.
