Comment on We're accelerating the Android XR platform with a new agreement with HTCparent

Comments

We are currently trying to hack together something akin to what the AR glasses like Meta Orion and Snap Spectacles are trying to be in the future, but with tech that is available today, and by using a more limited use case of fitness.

What we are aiming for is a general compute puck + display glasses + added 6dof tracking.

In this video we tried the Nintendo Switch as the compute plus self tracked HTC Vive Ultimate trackers for the head tracking plus Viture Pro XR glasses: https://youtube.com/shorts/U4vhEPQw-Uo

The Nintendo Switch was more a "can we do it" rather than a "that's what we should do" but it shows the overall idea

Such an awesome project, thanks for sharing!

It is really fun experimenting in that space and it has completely sold me on the future of optical AR glasses, even though our current product is fully focused on VR/Passthrough MR
