The video shows a setup of augmented reality kit and a guy playing it. Now augmented reality has mostly been used for advertising purposes and an interesting case of giving cars super powers (superman’s x-ray vision).

If this setup existed I would wear it to go everywhere. Driving will never be the same. And your weekly drink with your buddies at your favourite bar can turn into a coop between the patrons to protect the bar from the Nazi zombie’s trying to invade the bar and take away your precious booze.

Another possible use would be playing history games in real life places. Call of duty’s Caen map comes to my mind.

Unfortunately this setup is a fake. It is a fictional clip from a TV show. However, I still fell in love with the concept and I want one; even if I have to make it myself. I would never take it off. I’m preparing dinner for myself and next thing I know a SWAT team comes in to arrest me and I have to fight my way out.

It will keep me on my toes and make everything seem so much more interesting. Now all they have to do is remove the helmet and replace it with the LCD contact lenses and run all the processing on a smart phone (maybe the N900). Someone get me a patent officer. A vest which gives you a slight shock everytime you are hit.
