I'm having trouble understanding the difference between this tech and the leading-edge AR tech like Meta's Orion glasses, which supposedly cost $10,000 to make
Why are these $500 and high-res enough to play games on? What's so much harder and costlier about the other AR glasses?
- nfriedly 2y agoWell, AR glasses have cameras. Other than that I'm not really sure. I didn't even realize these had a 3D mode or other sensors, I thought they were just a pair of mirrored screens
- brundolf 2y agoAre these always-opaque where the "screens" are and only transparent (or not transparent?) elsewhere? If so, I bet it's the intermingling of transparency + overlaid pixels that's hard about the other ones
- nfriedly 2y agoIt sounds like the OP's ones have a button that switches between transparent, semi-transparent mode, and opaque. I know a pair I've seen in the past was mostly transparent, but then it had an extra piece you could snap on that was just solid black plastic, kind of like a camera lens cover, and it would block out everything but the screens.
