OmniVision's new OmniGlass provides a template for Glasslike wearable displays

Not every tech company can afford to build a head-mounted display from scratch; thanks to OmniVision’s new OmniGlass reference design, they won’t have to. The template combines a 0.26-inch, 720p liquid crystal on silicon display with a 4-megapixel camera and an imaging chip, giving firms most of what they’d need to craft a Google Glass-like wearable computer beyond the computer itself. Don’t anticipate a flood of me-too products just yet, though. OmniGlass developer kits and sample units are available today, but mass production won’t start until the second quarter of 2014.
