I don't get how companies in VR still don't understand that bulky VR sets are just not going to be popular.
I just want a pair of glasses with ascii text output, a camera, microphone, and a link to my smartphone to do all the heavy compute (or offload it to the cloud)
- jayd16 2y agoIf you don't actually want a HUD you could just use a Gopro and smartwatch.
- ActorNightly 2y agoI do want a HUD, because it matches the "what im looking at" with text displayed on device.
- LorenDB 2y agoMeta is apparently working on a pair of AR glasses that might have everything you want: https://www.roadtovr.com/report-meta-ar-glasses-orion-connect-2024/ https://www.roadtovr.com/report-meta-ar-glasses-orion-connec...
- ActorNightly 2y agoNo, they are doing a more complex AR style with graphics that is going to be flashy. Not needed. Too much power to drive the displays, adds to device weight and bulkiness, e.t.c. Simple transparent oled display output is all that is needed. https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/cfal12856a00151b-128x56-transparent-oled-screen https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/cfal12856a00151b-128x56.... Pair of those, in some frames with a USBC power/data controller, cheap price, done. You can probably even get creative with 3d stuff if you figure out the correct offset per eye pixel wise for each display.
