This week we came across a very interesting product and solution from Interactive Imaging Systems, Inc. known as the Second Sight. The Second Sight M110 is especially interesting to us as this solution allows a user to connect a small head display to a Compact Flash or PCMCIA slot, allowing the user to a full 640 x 480 pixel display on a portable computer and even a PDA.
The above items as well as other new and innovative services and technologies can be found on our What's Hip section on our News page at:
