This morning we sat down with the creators of Pairasight, a unique system for adding stereo vision to almost anything, including glasses. While the company is still nascent, they do have a very compelling technology that could help EMTs, police, and military record their world wirelessly when on duty.

The glasses can take stereo images at 5-megapixel quality and stream video wirelessly to their own encoding servers.

The website is, shall we say, quite bold, but creator Chris Salow was very down to earth and explained that his mission was to build an open source product that allows for multiple use scenarios. He’s expecting to have initial prototypes built this year and will sell the glasses as well.
