Not so long ago it was the Bluetooth headset that made us all look like something out of a sci-fi film, but the advancement of wearable gadgets does not stop there, as a firm in Japan has been demonstrating. Last week, NTT Docomo introduced the world to a lightweight pair of augmented reality glasses, which overlay the lens with digital content such as directions or a travel guide. The AR Walker places a miniature screen at the periphery of your right eye, keeping your field of view clear whilst letting you glance down to see the information being displayed. It is a scaled-down version of the company's earlier head-mounted display made with Olympus, now reduced to a comfortable-to-wear weight.
A link to your smartphone keeps the display populated, showing you information on your surroundings. A virtual tour of Kyoto was used as the first demonstration of the technology. Plans as to how to introduce the AR Walker for sale are still being discussed.
