14 DAY TRIAL // Google may be preparing the Glass for mass availability, but there are other augmented reality headsets getting ready for the same, and this time I'm not talking about the DK-40 Heads Up Display.
Instead, I am bringing you the Vuzix M100, which is up for pre-order at a price of $1,000 / €1,000.
Whether or not the price is worthwhile you'll have to decide for yourself. I'll just say that Vuzix previously said the price would be of $500 / €500, and the double leap is a bit much to take in.
Anyway, the Vuzix M100 has GPS support, a gyroscope, touch sensors, a camera, Bluetooth and, of course, a processor and RAM.
Those are the bare essentials really, not counting the small screen that displays things in your peripheral vision.
It won't be a totally standalone product, since it doesn't have 3G, but if you have a smartphone in your pocket, it will do well as an extension of it. On that note, the images in the eye unit should look like a smartphone would if you held it at 10-12 inches in front of your eyes.
