Eight Wrist-Worn OLED Displays Shipped to Military by Universal Display Corporation; PIP-Boy One Step Closer to Reality?
(Image courtesy of Engadget) Unfortunately too late for Noble Team, the corporation Universal Display officially announced they've dropped a care package containing eight of these wrist-mounted devices off to the US Army. Rugged, militarized and freshly sewn off the wrist of Megaton's savior - or menace - these 4.3" full color displays sport a Futurama-esque phosphorescent, amorphous-silicon OLED composed black-plane display, and are entirely flexible to boot. However, there is no specific purpose in mind for these bad-boy's at the moment, but they "offer various advanced communications features, all integrated into a thin and rugged housing that comfortably fits around a soldier’s wrist". I can see it now, "Commander...COMMANDER! Stop playing Pac-Man!!"

ReplyDeletethats a pretty cool concept
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, this is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that thing be distracting?
ReplyDeleteAlso, it would have to be able to turn off, or it could give them away.
cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteEat your heart out, Leela.
ReplyDeleteThey can't think of any use for them? Are you serious? Coordinate data, infrared satellite views of the area, or any other kind of significant date access that could help the soldiers in any way? Not that I haven't lost faith in our government already, but wtf?
ReplyDeleteSupportin'!

ReplyDeleteI see a lot of potential in a gadget like this, would prob get more efficient when it reduces the bulkiness. Amazing looking device though
ReplyDeleteNext generation smartphones? I hope that this gets out of the military sector.
