 | | EyeTap is at once the eye piece that displays computer information to the user and a device which allows the computer to process and possibly alter what the user sees. | | | By contrast, in EyeTap devices, the diverter (which may be a double-sided mirror or a beamsplitter) places the centre of projection of the camera at (in an optical sense) the centre of projection of the lens of an eye of the wearer. | | | This allows the EyeTap to, under computer control, augment, diminish, or otherwise alter a user's visual perception of their environment, which creates a Computer Mediated Reality. |

| | Eyetap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | eyetap is also the name of an organization founded by inventor Steve Mann to develop and promote eyetap-related technologies such as wearable computing. | | | This enables the EyeTap to, in theory, modify the computer generated scene in response to the natural scene. | | | EyeTaps will have great use in any field where the user would benefit from real-time interactive information that is largely visual in nature. |

| | Talk:Eyetap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | An "EyeTap" is a device that causes the eye to, in effect, function as if it were both a camera and a display, by intercepting at least some of the rays of light that would otherwise enter the eye, and diverting those rays of light through computational processing, prior to re-synthesis of the light. | | | The EyeTap was invented in Canada, and the concept has been developed over the past 30 years, toward sleek and slender electric eyeglasses that can improve vision, filter out advertising (block billboards), as well as mediate (augment or diminish) visual input. | | | An eyetap device takes light that's entering the eye and regenerates the light by computer. |

| | Mann says EyeTap devices connect to any computer system, although he says it makes more sense to use a small portable computer. | | | Mann -- considered by some the inventor of the wearable computer -- says the laser EyeTap, made in 1998 and soon to be marketed to consumers, is an outgrowth of that invention. | | | Whatever becomes of his EyeTap invention, Mann says he's excited about the future of computer and Internet-related technology. |

| | Programming for EyeTap Systems |
| | Steve Mann is regarded by many as the inventor of the wearable computer, of the EyeTap camera (a device that causes the eye itself to function as if it were a camera) and of the Reality Mediator (wearable image processor for the visually challenged, http://wearcam.org/mr.htm [13]). | | | Over the past few years, we have been working on a number of programming environments for EyeTap systems. | | | Accordingly, we have been developing a number of options and methodologies for dealing with the problem of reversed display. |

| | Wearable computer - One Language |
| | In 1998, a fully functional wristwatch computer system was designed and built, and later featured on the cover of Linux Journal. | | | In the 1990s covert or normal-looking systems were developed that had the appearance of ordinary clothing and eyeglasses, by way of an underwearable computer (worn under a shirt) and EyeTap eyeglasses. | | | In the 1980s these systems were miniaturized to smart clothes (computer jackets) and eyeglasses, where the components were mounted outside the eyeglasses. |

| | Like the invention of shoes, clothing, ordinary eyeglasses, and other prosthetics, we will become dependent on these forms of technology as we evolve into becoming "cyborgs", part human, and part computer. | | | Eyeglass-based computer vision systems based on the EyeTap principle | | | Such computer vision systems, built into eyeglasses, can be used to assist the visually impaired, or those suffering from visual memory disability. |

| | Mann pioneered the "EyeTap" project, which is designed to augment human vision with eyeglasses implanted with cameras and computer screens that process images from the outside world but add additional information to create "mediated reality." Future EyeTap versions could block out advertisements, recognize faces or help people with impaired vision to see clearly. | | | The idea was to develop a filming system for the visually impaired." | | | Steve Mann, a University of Toronto researcher into cyborg technologies, said he has been exchanging ideas for months with Pantagis about vision-augmenting techniques. |
