Is there a picture of this wearable being worn by someone, preferably with a resolution greater than 480x320 pixels at a distance where the torso is in view as well?
I'm not uninterested, but at this price point, selling a ~400 euro device that I didn't know existed until 30 seconds ago takes a bit more convincing, especially with a gif showing 1.5x the original size and calling it 8x zoom.
Seriously, the only two images I could find are 500x333 (the monocle comes in at 61x66 pixels if I'm being generous with the edges) where the person literally has to hold it up https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/623cc6cc56889b045032bfc1/62a8bb00db3e305d9e39175d_PurchaseImage_Monocle2-p-500.jpeg https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/623cc6cc56889b045032bfc1/62a... and 319x306 (crops to 20x20 pixels(!)) https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/623cc6cc56889b045032bfc1/6375077905ce4c0b0eb21e9d_IMG_1233%201.png https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/623cc6cc56889b045032bfc1/637... where there's again a hand hovering. It looks stable nor comfortable, to me, but I don't know, it's not like there's a video with someone casually wearing it while talking to the camera or doing something.
Open source being listed as something you can toggle off is also a bit ironic to this FOSS advocate :-) but the spirit is there and it's definitely a selling point that it says the platform is under an MIT license! Let's get that app on f-droid and I'm curious to see it actually in any user's proverbial hands!

- lucb1e 4y agoThank you! That instantly gives a much better idea of what it's actually like to have one on :)
- birdyrooster 4y agoWow this is cursed looking, I am afraid I wouldn't be able to take it off
- birdyrooster 4y agoThe zoom says 16x and yes it looks like 1.5x, it's weird. Seems like a scam.
- lucb1e 4y agoTo be fair, I feel like the 16x frame looks more like 2x than 1.5x, but yeah someone ought to do the math there and be honest about what you're going to be seeing. /me realizes something Wait, the camera is advertised as being 720p. No mention of optical zoom (and smartphones (which are bigger and heavier!) don't have that either). I'm allowed to drive, so I'd say my eyesight ought to be better than 720p (at least after the brain's post-processing, as eyeballs are allegedly pretty terrible). In that case, "zooming" cannot help to see more. If this crops 720 pixels by a factor of 16, you get 45 pixels blown up to the whole screen. Plus motion blur. I can understand they didn't show what 16x would look like! What a scam of a feature, neither being 16x nor being useful at all nor being zoom by any of merriam webster's definitions. Either that or I am majorly missing something here.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 4y agomaybe it uses stable diffusion to upscale?
- themoonisachees 4y agoThis thing doesn't have nearly enough power nor battery on board to run even the smallest stable diffusion model at all, not even talking about the nightmare that would be doing it in realtime. If you want, you could do it offboard but there's a reason wireless VR headsets don't work, and it's latency.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 4y agoI was being sarcastic :-) SD upscale doesn't even make sense for zooming, it's just fabricating data.
- nunobrito 4y agoYep. Price tag too high for basically a gimmick. I'm not seeing how a 70 mAh battery can do meaninful activities with so many power-draining modules around. Might last 30 minutes, 60 at most without needed to recharge again. Would prefer the clip-on module for existing glasses and get extra battery life, perhaps more vision angle since the monocle seems to cut 30% of the vision field.
