I think this is a better paradigm than Augmented Reality glasses.
The medium is limited but interesting.
Perhaps this would be more portable if there is a projector underneath a table with a transparent glass top and a camera on top to view inputs.
Potential Applications
1. Mapping (Interactive maps, interactive routing, real-time weather, etc)
2. Collaborative art
3. Engineering CAD and CAM modeling and design.
- porcc 6y agoTilt5 might interest you as IMO the best paradigm of AR glasses--headmounted projectors with retroreflective surfaces. https://www.tiltfive.com https://www.tiltfive.com Portable, multiplayer--and comes with massive improvements in FOV and contrast due to its design.
- gmueckl 6y agoThe mythical AR glasses of the future should be able to do everything your proposed projection table setup can. I see both setups as just two different manifestations of AR as a concept.
- kumarvvr 6y agoHaha. Mythical indeed. But more importantly, they are impersonal. In a collaborative setting, they are simply not conducive enough.
- indigochill 6y agoAre you thinking of VR? AR merges the virtual environment with the physical one. One fun example was that I played a Finnish board game sort of like Pictionary with a Finnish friend. All the cards were in Finnish which I don't know, but I could use my phone's AR translation app to "read" the cards in effectively real time. AR glasses could hypothetically share a networked virtual environment, so I don't see why they couldn't be collaborative.
- kumarvvr 6y agoNo, not VR. Interacting socially is better without a huge glass that covers half your face, and most importantly, covers your eyes.
- gmueckl 6y agoProper AR glasses would be completely see-through and not very intrusive.

- scpedicini 6y agoRegular glasses also "cover your eyes", you are aware that AR uses transparent lenses right? They augment the world around you, they don't take away from it.
- J5892 6y agoIn an ideal AR setting, everyone with a display will see everything everyone else sees. So the exact concept of Dynamicland would be completely reproducible in AR. And you get the advantage of having optional private workspaces on top of that.
