So what kind of projects do people generally build for these type of OS AR devices?

What I'm gonna try is text reading. Like send in snippets of text from whatever news/twitter... and read it while doing dishes/waiting for food to cook. (assumption from bluetooth connection from phone)

  Perhaps there is something already for this. Another comment pointed out that would be HUD not AR. What you describe is something I also want/need.

    Yeah I can do python, have not used micropython and I have not worked with FPGA's before so that's not what I'm trying to do now. The micropython sounds more tangible to me. So I'm going to see about somehow feeding in text into the monocle via phone/BT... like an OBS situation. Then you could use your phone's screen as a mouse/input method. I know it seems pointless just use your phone... but you know... it's cool. I have to read the manual on this too.

      Nreal Airs mentioned in another comment thread seem viable for the dishes problem. Thought I should mention to you.

        I saw those a while back looked interesting. I already pre-ordered a simula vr headset regarding both-eyes. I know they're not the same thing but yeah.

        I’ve been looking more at the Nreals since I replied and they are potentially an out of the box solution to the text information while doing dishes. I’m thinking a custom textual python terminal app on transparent terminal emulator on black background with tiling window manager. I have a GPD microPC so it seems if I add the Nreal adapter to connect hdmi. Then all it’s really missing is some type of input mechanism maybe via bluetooth. The Nreals looks potentially good enough to be literally walking around safely if the textual TUI is designed in a way to not be too distracting. Edit: found this for input mechanism. https://www.tapwithus.com/product/tap-strap-2/ https://www.tapwithus.com/product/tap-strap-2/ This idea looks fairly realistic to me.

        wow that tap with us is a cool product I was thinking about how to make something like that, I'd be curious on its accuracy, will see if there are videos on it hmm it does not work the way I think it would, I wanted a qwerty layout

IMO there are two largest hurdles to practical AR: - Humans aren't fast: using AR while also functioning as a person is too hard for us dumb meat-computers. - AR devices still aren't as fast, sophisticated and low-power in hardware as we'd take it granted for mobile devices e.g. iPhone and MacBook.
