Turns out there's no official GG thread so I'll post in a new one.

So I got two questions:

1) Anyone got any real updated info on how to get let's say 3 pairs of GG? I mean that get-invite-from-ebay scheme. Is it still actual or there's some new solutions. (Buying at 3x price on ebay is not a solution)

2) Is there an alternative to GG as a HUD only. No internet or anroid needed - just something to project info on. It has to be the same idea of transparent display.

Only real answers from people who know their shit please *sigh*

Thanks!

Thanks! Now I realize the thread actually belongs in Hardware or Handheld. Could you move it please?

Nope. It's still on an invite only basis.

ICIS: http://www.laforgeoptical.com

Lumus DK40: http://www.lumus-optical.com/?option=com_content&task=view&id=9&Itemid=15

Lumus is a military thing gone consumer, not sure about its current status if I'm honest. ICIS isn't even out yet, but about as close as you can get Smile


Edit: I assume you meant for daily use btw right? Because if it's sports, particularly for snowboarding and skiing, there's a lot more choices.

Thanks for the links! Checking out now.

And no, it's not for sports or personal use, it's for an Augmented Reality solution. A person looks at a big display display through GG or something like that and sees contextual information on the device about objects on the big display.

And I'm afraid I need something available for purchase right now, not through some long beta application processing procedure Sad

Ah!

Well in that case, I think you're fresh out of luck. All of these things are on pre-order or in beta; the Spaceglasses Meta for example, or CastAR. Even the latter, which has just shown their HD variant (i.e. 2.0) at CES is still on pre-order.

Yeah looks like it. Sad

So if I buy invites on ebay d'u know how long does Google take to process the order and ship the darn thing?
