I wish the Media could give us real christian heros.

With the latest crop of anti-heros headlining the movies, television and books, a person wonders what the media is selling. The good witch, the not so bad vampire or were-wolf, the family friendly villain, are all the rage. It is a trend that is telling a half-truth. You can be not so bad and that you are better than those even badder. They are all bad!
I would like to see a real hero that is portrayed as good, honest, god fearing, christian that does not have to use violence or super powers to help people get out of the mess they have made of their own lives, or help them when they have been victimized by others. But in today's comic-book media that would considered very boring.

If this christian hero would use spiritual weapons, available to all born again christians, to solve problems and see through evil plots, while remaining balanced and relying on faith, this hero would be ideal.

The media would probably have to portray the hero either as a saint, a self-righteous fanatic, some type of guru, or a con man with a hidden agenda to get rich or get more sex/love. But this hero would not be like this. The hero would be an ordinary middle class person with a job, spouse, family, church, friends, neighbors, and a community.

The problem is that if this ordinary hero can do this good, why are you not doing the same, now?
I doubt that a book with this type of hero would be popular to today's media.

Some of the companies working on the 3D glasses system.

I checked out several systems from Vuzix's, Lumus Optical's, and Microvision's websites, and they are starting to come up with the system.
Vuzix is working on an AR system with cameras and the mini screen in front of your eyes goggles, but no air touch control operating system, yet.
Lumus has created an optical viewing system that looks great, but has not added cameras.
Microvision has a system for viewing portable devices, but no cameras or air touch controls.
They are slowly moving ahead, I'll give them a few years, or months. They probably have the system in the R&D departments now.

I think this first drawing is the input system of the near future. There are several inventors already starting to work with this. Several manufacturers are already creating the 3D interfaces similar to the one shown in the first diagram. Check out previous gizmodo and gizmag items.
