Israel Defense Force Vet Offers Holographic Google Glass CompetitorNicholas West The military origins of nearly all high tech systems that trickle down to the consumer is a standard part of the military industrial complex. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that a new competitor to Google in the augmented reality field is Meta a company being chaired by Meron Gribetz, an Israel Defense Forces veteran. The company seeks to take the Google Glass concept one step further by incorporating the worlds first holographic wearable interface. Metas CEO Gribetz worked in an elite technological unit of the Israel Defense Forces and, according to their website, he has studied at Columbia University in the field of neuroscience. This is important to note, as Obamas BRAIN project and its counterpart in Europe have invested billions in order to directly merge humans with machines. There is also a distinct pursuit of military-level mind control embedded into their respective initiatives. As CNN has noted, Meta makes you a real-life Tony Stark. That doesnt appear to be hyperbole; there is actually an app in development called The Iron Man Project. The Iron Man reference just as easily could be a Minority Report reference when the full functionality is examined. A world is quickly arriving where the data stream of the Internet and its connected devices has entered real-world practical experience. For example, there appears to be no direct interaction with the glasses themselves; the Meta Pro glasses integrate all of a users devices as a holographic representative projection in front of you any time you activate. You literally see your physical phone and laptop screen in front of you. All applications are there as well, and are updated from any use in the holographic realm. The company also plans 500+ new applications that form an entirely new computational universe. A look at The 15 Best App Ideas include: Others include 3D printing, love augmentation for the bar scene, and a host of ways to enhance your driving experience. Lest this sounds like Im endorsing a slick new product, Im definitely not. Rather, this list is indicative of the feel-good phase of convenience, safety and video games that we see anytime new tech rolls out. Its the very same pitch that one can read about with thenew Wi-Fi technologythat can see people through walls. Rather, it highlights the technology that has been available in the military realm for likely quite some time, giving us a hint at where the true intentions lie. This is only what fell off the table in the scrap heap of consumerism. Furthermore, as Ive stated many times, every element of our high tech society is proving to be a gateway toward enhancing the surveillance-military complex that is now the foundation of the U.S. and possibly the world economy. Until we use technology within a framework of respect for our inherent rights, we are likely only to get the NSA scandal on steroids if leaps like this one are realized. Its bad enough that devices not even connected to our bodies can track, trace and database us. What can we expect to happen when we are wearing these devices? Or, as neuroscientists and transhumanists would love to see these devices embedded into our brains to create natural machines. Here is a YouTube that demonstrates the virtual battle that is commencing between the Meta Pro and Google Glass systems. And here is an additional look at some of the apps as they are pre-enacted: Recently from Nicholas West:
