[hackerspaces] DIY HUD

[Nils Hitze]

Thank you guys for giving me all these informations, will try to setup a
page in my wiki with all the informations gathered plus plant the seed into
peoples head at my next Dorkbot meeting.

Maybe i can find a good combination between the new ADK stuff Google
just announced at I/O and the Rasberry Pi with the HDMI Output.

Basically all that is missing is a good Interface to your eye that
isn't to heavy and
integrates into your eyesight nicely.

Maybe more like the Shirt from Daemon (from Daniel Suarez) which is
giving electric impulses to the body and can be controlled by simply
touching certain parts of the body in a special order.
