http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/10/omnivision-omniglass_620x340.jpgNot every tech company can afford to build a head-mounted display from scratch; thanks to OmniVision's (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/01/omnivision-details-10-megapixel-clear-pixel-sensor-inside-moto-x/) new OmniGlass reference design, they won't have to. The template combines a 0.26-inch, 720p liquid crystal on silicon (http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/canon-unveils-realis-sx800-lcos-projector-with-3-000-lumens/) display with a 4-megapixel camera and an imaging chip, giving firms most of what they'd need to craft a Google Glass (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/30/google-glass-review/)-like wearable computer beyond the computer itself. Don't anticipate a flood of me-too products just yet, though. OmniGlass developer kits and sample units are available today, but mass production won't start until the second quarter of 2014.
