Did Da Vinci Invent Google Glass?

The notes describe the eyewear as “Occhiovita Immagine,” which roughly translates to “Eye Life Picture.”

The notes go on to describe the experience of wearing the Occhiovitas. Man would see his life and another life or ‘importante testo,’ which means ‘important text.’ on top of that life.The astounding thing is that Da Vinci actually imagined this ‘text’ on top of your life. Just like Google Glass!”

Why 3-D Printing Won’t Turn Your Home Into a Factory:

You’ve probably heard that 3-D printing is going to save U.S. manufacturing. All those “makers” say it, even President Obama has chimed in of late. So it wasn’t too surprising at the recent SXSW gathering to see 3-D printers busy cranking out doodads under the big tops of television networks and tech companies. You stood in line for a taco, you watched a link of plastic parts slowly emerge from a nearby machine.

Open-Sourcing Outer Space: 3-D Printing Meets Rocket Science:

Sure, a 3-D printed car is cool, but it doesn’t go to space. And there’s probably a good reason for that, but now a competition is aiming to launch the newest manufacturing fad into the final frontier by challenging people to design 3-D printed rocket engines.
