Just like Tony Stark in Iron Man, the Meta SpaceGlasses present
virtual objects in the real world and let you interact with them,
helping you sculpt a virtual vase with your hands, for example.
From there you can 'carry' it over to your 3D printer where it’ll be
printed, giving you a physical version of your digital model.
It sounds like science fiction but, as Meta has already
demonstrated, all the vital ingredients to make these specs already
exist. A Kinect sensor and processor mounted on top of the frame
detects objects in the real world, like your hands or sheets of
paper, and then tracks their location and distance from you.
Meanwhile, tiny projectors mounted on the arms of the
SpaceGlasses throw virtual images onto the lens. Watch their
video here for a demonstration of how it works.
It may sound like a pipe dream but Meta hopes to have people
wearing their unusual spectacles by 2014. Watch out Google Glass

Nokia has set a great
example of low-light mobile
phone camera photography
with the Lumia 920 and it’s
optical image stabilization
called PureView technology.
Expect other companies to
try and implement their own
ideas to the new technology
and in the hope create
something for night-time
photography. It wouldn’t be
a surprise if Apple spent
more money and time to
improve their already great
iPhone camera focusing on
low-light performance.
