I mean, this is awesome, obviously, but the framing is odd — this is very, very far from the SOTA, no? 30° FoV and ~30% image degradation with monochromatic images seems way less capable than the Orion Glasses. But I’m sure that’s just journal editors / academia goofballs trying to make money, and the scientists themselves know what they’re contributing. Love to see it! Cannot wait for glasses to become real so I can buy them and complain about how I never use them, like my smart watch that can talk to me.
- psunavy03 2y agoThe entire point of the article was to illustrate the capabilities of a less-bulky system than Orion. That IS the state of the art for a glasses form factor, not cartoon glasses like Orion.
- bbor 2y agoInteresting point, fair enough! Orion is indeed thicker than normal glasses now that I look (https://about.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/05_whatcomesnext.png?resize=960%2C836 https://about.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/05_whatcomes...), tho I can't access this article for a direct weight comparison (if Meta even published that for Orion). I'm a nerd that would be thrilled with either, but I can see the qualitative difference it would make to many more casual users to have normal looking glasses.
