We have been waiting quite a while for holographic lenses to hit the market.
I get that this kind of form factor is exciting, but all I really want is a Pimax with these lenses.
If Facebook (Meta) put out a below-average spec headset (think Quest 1 specs, or even worse) today, and put holographic lenses in it, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
AR is cool and all, but that's not the reason holographic lenses are exciting to me. The real reason is that they don't have a fixed focal depth. That alone is the single most significant limitation of contemporary VR.
Just imagine: No more IPD adjustment (that can never be perfect, because pupils move). No more godrays. No more stretched projection. No more prescription inserts. Holographic lenses are a leap forward, and it feels like these companies have just been sitting on it, absolutely clueless, for half a decade now.
