No, not the 1995 film sadly, but another Golden-i system...

Golden-i has been developed by U.S. company Kopin Corporation, but software solutions tailored to police, firefighters and paramedics have been created by Nottinghamshire-based firm Ikanos Consulting.
 

It was shown off at the CES 2013 show in Las Vegas last month, although the firm says it is 'too early' to give a price.

 

It is set to be trialled this year, and could go on sale before Google's Glass project, which is a far more compact headset the search giant also plans to release this year.
 

The Police Pro application provides real-time situational awareness in the field by allowing officers to record incidents for later analysis and view live video feeds from other Golden-i headsets.

 

The system can also identify suspects using facial recognition, receive alerts from motion sensors, scan licence plates instantly, monitor basic vital signs and call up floor plans and GPS coordinates.

 

The Firefighter Pro application allows firefighters to call up floor plans and GPS coordinates, see through walls using infrared technology, monitor crew and surroundings, navigate through unknown environments and provide on-site video streaming.

 

They can also access medical records, stream live video, discuss options with associates and view maps or use GPS.

 

Office workers can also benefit from the technology with the Ikanos-created Lifeboard application. This system enables you to customise up to 6 different screens to meet personal working preferences and manage your day.
 

The Golden-i unit features an inertially stabilised 14-megapixel camera with optional infrared camera for thermal and night vision.
 

A 1080 HD detachable camera for recording or sending real-time video can also be added.

Sounds like a good gadget for Bond to use in the future maybe...?
