I'm wondering if it changes modes when you stand up or walk around? Still, I'm intrigued by this device that lets you essentially strap a MacBook Pro (M2 chip) to your face. Instead of using two physical monitors to edit videos, you can use two (or more) virtual monitors to edit videos. With the AR goggles, now you can edit on your couch or on an airplane or in the bathroom. Very powerful if it works well.
Nope and especially not for 4k
I think it needs to be a set of glasses and we need better battery tech before that can really happen. Solid state batteries will be needed since their energy density is so much higher. As a low vision user i can think of an immediate use as a magnification device. Actual magnifiers dont work well for me but software magnification does. Therefore i could magnify my surroundings to read signs, etc.
I totally agree with this. I think Google was ahead of its time with Google Glass and I think something like that could catch on in a future where the hardware and software are more robust. Driving/walking directions, real time translation...some great potential for useful applications!
It has great potential, but I worry that it'll make technology even more intrustive into everyday life.
Lol i do remember this! Funny though that now everyone is recording everyone else in public and posting it online. The "glassholes" were tame compared to how people use their phones in public now.
I remember this, I had a feeling the tech or something similar would be back someday.
Being able to walk around with a computer on your head is the second step in becoming a cyborg. It's going to happen O.O
Yeah totally agreed. Especially if it's made by Apple lmfao
Yeah everything was fine until it started injecting needles into my mind
I just want smartphone VR, not planning to buy a dedicated headset, just want to make use of what already exists and have wanted to try doing a VR desktop for a while using a phone
apparently there are problems with smartphone VR... but I presume them to be surmountable and that they're just trying to sell unnecessary VR hardware instead as a kind of gimmicky business move
Yeah that's not happening. The tech differences add up to a horrid VR experience. Google cardboard was exactly this project, but it was burned because it was just plain bad. Phones aren't meant to be glued to your face, but VR headsets are built for it specifically and the difference is immense.
same honestly, I've been considering turning my old phone into a ghetto vr setup
