These guys have made a pair of goggles that put whatever you see through a series of filters in real-time. Besides having the usual ones like negative, sepia, greyscale, thermal-esk, etc, there's an ASCII vision! To top it off, the font is green and black.

If they used a matrix font (Im sure theres one out there), made the text scroll / change randomly, have a brightened character scroll downwards everytime it refreshes, and add colour-detection for a specific colour that causes the text to be bright orange / white (so you could paint something say, pink, and the goggles would use bright orange text, just like Neo's method of seeing important things in bright orange), it'd totally be matrix vision! The only thing missing would be having the text in 3D, properly scrolling down the surfaces of objects.

I... must... have them.

Linkage.

Holy freaking...

Now that's a big goatee... er, I mean that's a amazing pair of goggles.

Heh, looks pretty cool . Not incredibly innovative, essentially just applying photoshop type filters to a real time video and playing it back to you, but it is creative .

That has got to be the most geekest gadget ever. And I want one... Nice...

True. I've had code for years that will convert any image to ASCII art. Just a matter of linking to a camera and doing it on the fly with every frame. Then fitting into goggles. No big deal, but funky as hell. Plus aren't all the great ideas really simple? Million dollar webpage was genius (but the simplest thing ever on the web), as is Facebook for another example (not exactly newest tech and is seriously simple stuff, but the guy who created it is probably mega rich, and now the community builds functionality on their own. Nice).
