Article wrote as part of Nimbuzz Nokia Symbian Week!

While browsing through the exposition floor at this year’s Nokia World which took place last week on the 2nd and 3rd of September in Stuttgart, I was drawn towards the new devices, software and solutions. It definitely was an eye-opening experience to talk to the people behind these different products and ask about some of the choices they made as well as their plans for the future. However, one demo from the Nokia Research Center struck me with its novelty, ambition, and absolute sci-fi factor. The team had some concept glasses which projected images and had an embedded tiny camera that detected your eye’s movement allowing you to browse through the pictures. A video to further explain the concept and show its true power can be found on this page under “Nokia Mixed Reality“.
