You end up needing more complex optics to focus the image comfortably onto your retina at a distance that feels comfortable. An OLED display on a glasses lens with no other optics would just look like a bright blur between you and the rest

I agree that 6.5ft^2 is probably too small for a good RDW experience based on the gain numbers I'm familiar with. The tracked volumes of the experiments I was a part of were all on the scale of ~15-20 ft square. (I'm not a researc

https://github.com/XRobots/miniDogV2 The code's a bit of a mess -- James is clearly not a software engineer first. This is totally understandable, given that he does so many other things! When I first saw the code
