Instead of trying to fit transparent o LED with electrochromic glasses. We could try a full blown display with live camera feed serving as a viewfinder. This way we can achieve proper desired resolution and even control the brightness. Something like a cars rear view mirror suddenly turning into a camera's live feed display. Now, since this acts like a camera's viewfinder, we can easily insert AR text and objects into the real world live feed. Something like AR stickers and AR emojis

@scytob 2 месяца назад

long term, quite possibly - but we know what that device looks like with current tech - apple vision pro and it's still sub par for mainstream@@arnold_m_xavier before we get something with cameras we will get what is described in the video - think of this as having different classes of device, its an AND conversation not an OR conversation.

@timothyhardy1490 2 месяца назад

I believe I know a way to get around the issue with the extra AR components that they are having trouble fitting into lightweight frames, just repurpose the Humane AI pin (or something like it) to pair with the glasses to perform all the scans necessary to facilitate AR while keeping the frames lightweight, plus the AI could be trained to coordinate and optimize this process to be cohesive and extremely user friendly, you are welcome, please feel free to hook me up when this actually works ☺️

@oscarhagman8247 2 месяца назад

one thing i dont get is why they keep on having everything packed inside the glasses, wouldnt you solve a lot of the issues if you can house most of the components in a phone shaped block that you put in your pocket, apple is the only one who has done that so far. heck, you could probably off load most of the compute to your smartphone and have it send the data to the glasses over 5G

@alqamahasnain6428 2 месяца назад

Yes I agree with you. Apple's approach is the best at the moment. Considering the fact that the entire power supply is managed by the power bank, it's mandatory to be connected for the system to work. They might as well offload the computing to it too and make the glasses lighter

I think the future of AR is in VR, weirdly enough. It is easier to pull in the real world rather than push it out. Basically, VR with blacked out lenses, and high resolution cameras to stream the world back into the headset, on it's own terms. Combined with lower resolution 3d cameras, it can map out the real world with a virtual representation that is easier to work with on a fundamental level.

Great overview! So, DragonBall Z style scanners within five years? I'll start working on a power level app right away! Honestly, if someone can get the displays, optics and sensor package right (ie the stuff that actually _needs_ to be on your face), I'd probably prefer them to just have a USB C plug behind the ear to hook them up to something that provides power, computation and an image source. More feasible, probably lighter, easier to repair or upgrade, more open and more flexible.
