I’ve been trying to figure out if Vision Pro suffers the same fate as other AR glasses that it can’t be used in the sun,
Anyone knows?
- wtallis 2y agoIt's not AR glasses. It's VR with lots of cameras.
- samatman 2y agoYou're describing an approach to implementing AR. Simple test: can you get a drink out of the fridge while wearing the headset? If the answer is yes, it's AR.
- wtallis 2y agoThe definitions of these terms are certainly not fixed or universally agreed-upon, but on the spectrum from VR to MR to AR, the Vision Pro is definitely not at the AR end of things, and is very much not the class of device that the term "AR glasses" refers to. The problems that "AR glasses" have with operating outside in full daylight are inherent to a class of devices that does not include the Vision Pro. To the extent that the Vision Pro works better outdoors than whatever "AR glasses" OP had in mind, it's because the Vision Pro is a fundamentally different kind of device with wildly different tradeoffs and design goals.
- samatman 2y agoSo to summarize: unlike other AR glasses, it isn't unusable in sunlight, because it uses cameras to provide augmented reality, rather than something else. Got it.
- crazygringo 2y agoWhy "other" AR glasses? AVP is not glasses. It's a headset. Headsets and glasses are two entirely different product categories.
- samatman 2y agoBecause a refusal to understand what someone means when it's obvious, doesn't (as the delusion would have it) make that person look intelligent or win them imaginary internet points. It's just annoying.
- khazhoux 2y agoYou are correcting his terminology using a categorization (AR, MR, VR, XR, etc) which is not standardized or even commonly used. So what's the point of correcting? The simplest common-use definitions are: * Augmented: combines synthetic and real-world imagery * Virtual: fully-synthetic imagery AVP can do both.
- nadsaeae 2y agoDoing both is called mixed reality. The only caveat is you see reality through a screen and not normal gasses. The terminology is very common in the XR industry. https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/article/beyond-ar-vs-vr-what-is-the-difference-between-ar-vs-mr-vs-vr-vs-xr https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/article/beyond...
- nomel 2y agoNo. Please see the definitions. You’ll find links to them all under XR since XR covers them all: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_reality https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_reality AVP is, by all definitions, XR, VR, AR, and mixed reality. AR with cameras and screens is an implementation detail, with the definition being realtime. You can easily play ping pong with an AVP on.
- v1sea 2y agoYou can use it in the sun as it is using video passthrough not optical AR like the hololens.
- jazzyjackson 2y agoquestion is whether tracking works - the sun and its pesky infrared rays overpowers any structured light projections (appears as noise)
- jayd16 2y agoI was curious if the micro led display could withstand more heat than the Quest headsets but I can't find anyone testing (accidentally or otherwise) on an actual device. As far as tracking goes, the AVP has downward facing cameras and a lidar system that presumably works as well in the sun as their phone lidars.
