Sorry, I saw this on r/OldSchoolCool and couldn’t resist. Despite their hilarious looks these guys were rocking the “future is here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet” ethos.

Guy on the far right is Thad Starner, he’s in Georgia Tech now (https://www.cc.gatech.edu/home/thad/). He’s holding a Twiddler, a one-handed keyboard (I’ve wanted these for so long in the past, just checked, you can buy the latest version but they don't look as cool).

Guy on the far left is Steve Mann (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Mann_(inventor)). Here’s a 2013 article from IEEE Spectrum where he describes the permanent device he wore over his right eye: https://spectrum.ieee.org/steve-mann-my-augmediated-life

I wish I was there!
