Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “We Tried These 48-megapixel AR Glasses With Our Voice”.
Take a photo, zoom out open gallery next, next go home, it’s fast, digilens, Argo, our Digi lenses, first air glasses product, and these are designed for industrial uses to be sold to workplaces that are going to find ways to use these industrially. That means like the price is designed to be different, depending on different groups that are going to have subscriptions and different needs kind of similar to Google Glass and how it went to an Enterprise model. But what’s interesting is that the company which makes waveguide lenses is kind of looking to propel where the next generation of these glasses could go and that’s kind of a missing link, even though you may not be aware of it. It looks like a lot of the players like Microsoft. Hololens are kind of pivoting out of the space and, what’s going to replace it and if we’re all going to be wearing AR glasses in the future, like a lot of companies are planning. What’S going to happen with everything else, they’re kind of different markets, plus you have mixed reality, VR headsets that are trying to show things in the real world, but don’t have exactly the same uses. This is designed to be something where somebody who works could have a very wide field of view. That’S not interrupted. I’Ve had people tell me that that’s exactly like a quest Pro would have no use for them, because it would be something that would have passed through mixed reality and not tell you if something was about to hit you um.
I am not an industrial worker, but I would say that right now, I’m having a crystal clear view, pretty much all around me about as good as if I was just wearing my glasses, which could be incredibly useful, a lot of AR glasses and other things that I’Ve worn have had a lot of obstruction and, what’s interesting is you would not get that sense? Looking from the outside, where I look a little bug-eyed and goggled, but it feels very clear and direct, and I don’t feel that, like anything’s, getting in the way, I’m watching a clip of a movie right now, I’m watching. Yes, I’m watching the trailer and it’s 3D and it’s floating right in front of your your face. Well, just like I’ve seen in some displays before what’s interesting here is that you know not only is the viewing angle pretty wide, but but digilens making uh wave guide lenses. This is a remarkably clear lens.
You know sometimes you’ll see like a hazy rainbow thing on these things. I don’t see that at all, so I’m looking around and the room looks as clear as if I just had you know, gave my glasses a good cleaning um and even though this thing looks really bulky. Possibly all I’m seeing is a big, clear field of view. I don’t see any obstructions here, except for a slight sense, above my eyebrows, which I’m not really noticing, because it’s kind of out of my field of view, I’m getting all the stuff here getting here and all the stuff looks really clear.
So it feels like almost like normal glasses, pretty much. The other thing is that I’ve worn assistive types of smart glasses before and the response time on this is really fast, so it’s as Snappy it’s approaching being as Snappy as like a phone. So you know, I don’t see a lag here. You know it you’re not waiting, and this was not even tuned to my voice.
So you know I might be able to do this and open a camera which is 48 megapixels and be able to do various levels of digital zoom, and I can take a photo if you like, open camera zoom in zoom in take a photo open gallery. Okay, now I’m looking at your eyes really close up, but that’s like it’s as fast as that. That’S actually pretty it’s pretty simple, so that’s pretty cool and I mean the whole idea of this. Of these glasses is to be used in a workplace in an area where you’re going to have field of view.
The types of industrial glasses that have been around for a while. So the glasses also have the ability to look at markers on things or like on a big folding phone and project 3D objects on top of them. So I’m doing this right now by looking through a camera feed on a display. That’S looking at the phone and projecting a 3D map on top of this folding phone, but a future update should be doing it where I’m actually going to look actually at the phone and have the objects Sprout out of it. So I’m getting this glowing City grid that I can lift up and look at details on that’s emerging from the phone, and now this is the first time I’ve wanted a folding phone, but the use of this is to actually be able to have markers in a Workplace to be able to have other ways to have, you know, objects that you might want to tag and have maybe pop-up directions or information um that could be useful in a workplace and that is already being used for AR purposes and those types of things. So this demo, 3D CAD reminds me of demos that I’ve seen on like the hololens, which is it’s bringing up this spinning model of a engine like all these parts, they’re in different colors and they’re they’re, spinning around it’s 3D.
It’S in a limited field of view that still kind of looks. You know like it’s filling the space. That’S with all our headsets are like that, but this is able to track in space, so I could get closer to it and actually look at it and peek in at it and see it from different angles and when I do that, there’s spatial audio. So I also hear the audio get closer and move around kind of similar to VR and it one thing I’m noticing in this room is like no moderately lit, but it’s very crisp, it’s bright, and it’s designed to be like that. It’S focusing uh these glasses um. According to the craters are being are focused on creating uh images that are super bright over trying to go for a super wide field of view, something that, in the air glasses space does come up over and over again snaps air glasses are a good example.
One other one other interesting experimental idea. That’S going on in these glasses is the ability to tap into somebody else’s camera feed in real time to see what they’re seeing so you could actually have multiple glasses wearers and you can monitor what they’re seeing kind of triangulate or on a phone. I did this. A few moments ago and looked at myself, which was not flattering, but I got a sense of where I was in the room um, but you can see where they could actually be very useful.
If you wanted to get heads up things um what other people are doing in a group, it kind of reminds me of like William Gibson’s, the peripheral these do use prescription inserts, which is a growing Trend in the industry. Someone like me was highly myopic. It freaks me out because I feel like I’m going to get left in the dust. I did get minus eight inserts put into this, which seemed to work pretty well, but I think it’s going to be an interesting question going forward. How do you get I’m like? Yeah, I’m a giddy right now.
How do you get prescription inserts to work with all of these things and have them work with the prescriptions that you need? That’S a whole bigger question, but the point is I was able to put in these inserts and it looks pretty fine a little bit fuzzy. But that’s because I’m actually a minus 8.25 foreign .
