Meet the Japanese challenger to Google Glass: Telepathy One

Telepathy One

No, it's not Google Glass -- it's a Japanese rival called the Telepathy One, due to hit the market later this year. Created by technology entrepreneur Takahito Iguchi, based in Tokyo, it has a simple purpose: to make human connections more intimate. "It's to video stream what each person is viewing and share that experience," Iguchi says. "If every human being could understand what each person is thinking and feeling immediately, it would be an amazing, lovely world."


The Telepathy One is a sleek headset covering one side of the head, with a micro-projector in front of one eye. "It looks as if there's a five-inch screen floating in the air, about 45cm from your eye," says Iguchi. A camera captures what you see, communicating via your smartphone's data connection, and by Bluetooth.
