Here is an amazing video by Pattie Maes from MIT Media Lab, presented at TED. Pattie presents a wearable device cobbled together for around $350 dollars that consists of a camera, a small projector with a mirror, and a device to communicate with a cell phone. I want to thank Perderabo over at The UNIX [...]
