This visionary essay by Vannevar Bush, one of the founders of the Manhattan Project, was a wellspring for decades of computer development.
The LIFE magazine version of Bush’s essay includes this leading illustration, which makes it clear that Bush’s original vision for computation included a head-mounted camera. There’s even a reticule built-in to the user’s glasses [...]
