I really don’t understand the push to make AR “goggles” look like glasses. Either make them look 100% like natural eye/sunglasses such that no one can tell, or don’t even bother getting close. Just embrace it and make them legit goggles of their own.
No one is going to wear or buy these just like no one is going to wear or buy magic leap’s terrible product.
Having said that, I feel like these companies are getting us started. Once they fail (including magic leap) they should open source everything they’ve done so the next wave can get it right.
- nradov 8y agoI doubt they'll open source anything. When they fail, the investors will sell off the IP to one of the big tech companies so they can add to their defensive patent portfolio.
- jandrese 8y agoI don't know. I think if some fashion designer wanted to push that as a look they could probably make it work. The $1000 price point is a total dealbreaker though. Expectations at that price point are that it is going to work perfectly right out of the box and solve some problems, but these are going to be at best a novelty and probably buggy for at least a couple of iterations. That price point is way too high for something that doesn't work right.
