Geordi's TREK Glasses being made by NASA!

[alm4rr]

NASA is currently developing a new visual enhancement device similar to the VISOR worn by LeVar Burton ('Geordi LaForge') on Star Trek:TNG, ironically nicknamed the JORDY.

The JORDY? (Joint Optical Reflective Display) device, designed and manufactured by a privately-held medical device company known as Enhanced Vision, enables people with low vision to read, write, and watch television. Low vision, which includes macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, describes eyesight that is 20/70 or worse, and cannot be fully corrected with conventional glasses.


{ed - First genereation equipment is always big-n-bulky - it'll be neat to see what it will be in two or three tries! 🙂 )

First the teleporter, now this. My dreams are coming true. All we need now is a warp engine.

teleporter??????

and this will be extremely useful if they could make it smaller... as it is it's too much of a burden on the head i would think... kind of like walking into things though i guess 🙁

Bah.. I'm still waiting for my flying car. They promised us flying cars a long, long time ago, and damn it, I want one.
