#1. Real Life HUD

In Seattle, Washington there are--right this very second--living bunny rabbits with cybernetic super-eyes.

Much like the Terminator, these bunnies see the world through real life Heads Up Displays. It's all thanks to their special bionic contact lenses which have near-microscopic CPUs embedded in them to send and receive visual information.

Now, admittedly their current HUD is pretty basic: An 8 x 8 pixel LED field. But that's really only because the money isn't there to build a better prototype. The technology for a more complicated, human-usable display is completely viable, right now and at this very second. It's not "far-removed into the future," or "waiting for a breakthrough" in new technology; you could have it tomorrow if somebody invested enough.

The creator and Grand Master of the Terminator Bunnies, Babak Parviz, says it is totally feasible to build an augmented reality interface to slip right atop your eyeball. Since the lens reads visual data (the direction and focus of your eye) as well as displays it, he doesn't think a command interface will be a problem. And since the amount of power needed is so small that it could be entirely provided by a microscopic solar array embedded right there in the lens, power supply is not an obstacle either.

All hail the Bionic Bunnes!

"And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?"

I guess we have our answer now...


Aside from that, me wants.  ASAP.

8 by 8 pixels? While still cool, I'll wait for a better model. Preferably one with a built-in targetting system.

0.000064 megapixels ftw!

As soon as I saw the title, I knew who'd posted .

Is this going to be like that hypnocat thing?

btw, does anyone remember Jazz Jackrabbit?

[Colonol Dekker]

Yes. He was a byproduct of the mammalian platformer boom of the late eighties / early nineties spurred on by Sonic the Hedgehog which included Bubsy the Bobcat, and Aero the Acrobat.

are these bunnies

1) pink

2) run of Duracell

theyre probibly your typical white albino lab experimentee.
