VuFine returns to Kickstarter with a new wearable display for Pokémon Go, drone piloting, and more

You can probably imagine a situation where you need to see your phone screen at all times but cannot look down at it because your hands or eyes are on something else. I bet you can also imagine laughing in disgust if someone suggested you try wearing a Google Glass. Well, startup tech firm Vufine wants you to give a similar form-factor a try, and it thinks it can work because it doesn’t treat the device like a replacement for your smartphone.

Vufine’s product, which shares the same name, is a small display that hangs out over your face and can patch in a videofeed from most devices with an HDMI port. The company introduced the gadget in 2015 with a Kickstarter that raised $240,000 from 1,466 backers, and now Vufine has returned to the crowdfunding platform with a Kickstarter project for the next-generation Vufine+. The campaign went live yesterday, and it has already raised $45,000 of its $100,000 goal.
