Silicon Micro ST1080 glasses are augmented reality now

If you can’t want for Google’s Project Glass, these beauties will give you your fix, but they’re not exactly comparable. A company called Silicon Micro wants to get on the augmented reality game before Google does. Project Glass is an ambitious idea that will most likely define the augmented reality industry. It’s a very niche market right now but Google wants to bring it to the mainstream.

There are other augmented reality glasses out there, but they all look incredibly bulky and don’t belong out on the streets. Right now, the “wearable tech” market is pretty much dominated by glasses that are supposed to let users watch a movie with total immersion. And that’s what Silicon Micro’s new ST1080 glasses are mostly designed for. You wear them, load up a movie, and then it’s just you and the video content.

The device is capable

Dolphin Browser scores pre-install deal with Japan’s KDDI

Dolphin Browser, which is already the single most used third-party web browser for Android and iOS platforms (and my favorite browser in case you ask), is turning to East for further expansion. The company announced a pre-install deal with Japan’s major mobile operator – KDDI.

As a result, Dolphin Browser will be pre-loaded on future, un-released Android-based phones, allowing Japanese smartphone subscribers to easily download Dolphin Browser for free through KDDI’s mobile app store, au Smart Pass, which has over 1 million members.

Dolphin Browser has been download for more than 16 million times and with this new partnership, we’re pretty sure they’ll double the user base in no time at all. Although KDDI’s app store has “just” 1 million members, its customer base counts 30 million users…

Wikitude brings augmented reality to the mobile web

Wikitude, which is one of the Augmented Reality pioneers, wants to bring the technology to even more users. Their new solution, called “AR window,” enables any mobile webpage to include Augmented Reality content.

According to the press release we got, using this technology mobile web pages will be able to open up smartphone’s camera view so that users can view the live video stream with additional augmented content on top of it. Wikitude’s CEO Martin Lechner said that this will allow users to “interact directly with the real world while browsing the web.”

Sounds cool and kinda scary at the same time — i.e. I’m not sure I want to interact with web pages that way, though I could be wrong on this one.

We have a demo video to show you how that works in real life. Check it out and let us know what do you think
