I wouldn't be surprised if I was handed one of these or similar walking onto a plane, instead of a set of earphones for in-flight entertainment. Provided that they are easier to service than what exists I can see that being a thing. Of course, it could make in-flight entertainment an add-on in the future, since there wouldn't need to be a screen with every seat.

There is a prediction as well that the year 2022 will be the year of AR where people will be engaging a lot with it. The one from oppo looks too far ahead in the future.

[@AlexGFrank]

To be honest, i expect proper AR to be way more like the windshield projection in, say, Corvette C6. Simple, cheap, mostly monotone, not abstructing the view, but informative enough to be useful. I.e. basically a MiBand imbedded into glasses plus GPS directions and MAYBE automatic translation based on the level of processing power the phone and the glasses would have at the time.. No complicated interface or OS, no complex calculations, just a simple useful HUD. I hope manufacturers would realize that soon enough

[@Exilum]

​@@swankshire6939 It's not a mature technology, so maybe it's harder to tell, but it's better than the hololens. Just consider the size, the level of computation and power required. It requires vastly less hardware, vastly less powerful hardware too yet isn't that far behind. It just needs to get a bit less bulky and wireless, and we'll have something that can be used daily. Everything else is software. Software represents a lot of work, but it is comparably easier to pioneering hardware. The hololens looked impressive mainly because it had so much demo software made for it. It also compensated a lot of issues through sheer brute force.

[@vladutcornel]

Just realized AR could be great for people who use multiple monitors: rather than having several screens that are not at all portable, you would have one pair of AR glasses connected to a screen-less laptop, that you an use anywhere.

[@mackandelius]

And it can replace the need for a TV, it won't yet, but if you live alone then buying upcoming AR glasses sounds far more sensible than buying a large "bulky" and expensive TV.

[@danielt1g3r75]

@@mackandelius Yes. The headsets that will come with micro oled displays will easily beat smartphones and TVs, and laptops. This the reason Apple's stock has been increasing for the past few weeks.

[@spencerfreebairn9346]

I think the ability to simulate traditional displays in AR will end up being a secondary use case. The primary (and most exciting) use case will be overlaying data on the world, so that it becomes enmeshed with your surroundings, rather than being something that takes you out of them. Such as, navigation that overlays streets, info about buildings and businesses you’re looking at, location based reminders that just pop right up, etc.

[@J_Shepz]

Correction: nreal Air is *not* "more advanced" it's actually just a 3DoF viewer instead of 6DoF that can track and see what is in front of you. Technically they're both equally as powerful though because they both require being hard tethered to a phone to work.

[@FlintTD]

@TORPEDO theyre only available for general purchase starting yesterday (which caused me to rewatch this video), and it's for $380 on amazon. The hardware doesn't seem to be nearly as expensive (two tiny screens and a gyroscope), I hope some mainstream tech company like logitech copies the concept and uses economy of scale to make something like this but more affordable.

[@feyntmistral1110]

I'm happy they made these. We need this sort of thing to hit markets so further developments can be made. I'm not really sold on the NReal glasses though, even if I had a phone that could support them. But man, that second/third gen AR headset is going to be sweet. If NReal has this form factor working now, imagine a proper portable, non-phone reliant model below $400 (before prescriptions) with a better FOV and support for other ecosystems' software. Because we definitely need the software to make these work. But we aren't getting it from an independent company.

[@mmmmhmmmm7217]

The Quest 2 price point is just so brutal for other VR/AR startups. I know that's the point, for Meta to get early dominance and secure a big developmental/adoption lead over any potential competitors in the space, but it really sucks because it's going to slow down the industry as a whole. You have to be ready to throw a lot of money down the proverbial drain if you want to try and make a start as a competitor to Meta. My only hope is that future AR/VR developers (hardware and software) can figure out how to use Meta's development work as a starting point without running afoul of patent law to get a bit of a boost, and take advantage of daddy Zuck's warchest.

[@igrvks]

I think that for the first few generations AR glasses should try to emulate snowboarding goggles instead of sunglasses.

[@Jdbye]

It's not easy to make them slimmer, because they absolutely need special optics to allow your eyes to focus on something that close which means you need a layer of optics on top of the screen. All things considered, I find the size of this thing impressive. They're small enough that you could wear them without standing out and people could conceivably think they're just regular sunglasses unless they looked really close. Meaning somebody just glancing over at you would be unlikely to notice anything out of the ordinary. That's impressive that HMD glasses have come this far already.

[@itsdeonlol]

[@mapleleafsnation]

Sailboat racing is an ultra niche use case. If there was a way to place a wind line, compass, and race line in the hud. You could use it for optimizing your tacking. The price point would even make it cheap when compare to anything sailboat related!

These are cool, but I think it needs a generation or 2 more before it's useful to me. But I'm looking forward to the Arpara AIO (All In One) VR headset releasing in March. And the brightness issue that current reviewers have been mentioning a lot for the device... have been solved according to Arpara. They are still testing and verifying it, but it should be bright enough. Now the only potential issue is the 6DoF controls being bad, but if they are... I feel like Arpara will still be able to fix it up to around Quest 2 level before release. They seem to be open for feedback and actually do something with it.

The oculus quest has been out for a while. The average phone processor is more than powerful enough for ar. Ideally, your phone should be doing all the processing, relying on the glasses only for the screen and battery, which shouldn’t be too difficult, maybe even with hot-swappable batteries employing some magnetic attachment. Wireless video technology is nearly seamless now via dji and other drone manufacturers. This is more than doable with current technology. The technology just isn’t being implemented properly IMO.

For me the screen size isn't the problem but holding the phone and looking downwards. Being able to sit in a train and looking straight ahead while my hands are empty - that's the dream.

@@Jehty_ just get this, and a ring that acts like a mouse bluetooth, in the air. thats what im gonna do

[@sturdybutter]

Well the good thing is that they make you look really really cool

[@Its_Onion]

[@NigelMelanisticSmith]

Gen 1 PSVR had dashboard drifting as well.

[@ZestayTaco]

uses case is VR game where you can still use your keyboard

[@AugmentedPixel]

I’d love for a comparison to there new air with Sony micro led displays!

[@Abomin81onVlog]

Why fight it? What we need are helmets like master chief rocks, maybe predictor or, for those so inclined, power rangers or something. They have lots of space to spread batteries and components, decent space for speakers and mics, all around cameras/night vision. Huge field of view etc and in times like these, they can double as face masks. Let's go for it. I'm looking at you Razer, you guys are mad enough for this.

[@user-be9go5rh6t]

Can you connect these to a Mac like the Airs? And does it treat it like an additional display or does just mirror the display? If I were to put up 2 or more screens from my Mac this would be a great use case for those that have to work at home and do not want a dedicated desk with screens, but need more than one screen to work efficiently.

I would love to see what you guys think of the lume pad from Leia

[@agilpriyatna6736]

I can't wait for Augma!

[@KindOldRaven]

So, this is going to be really awesome at some point in the future, for very obvious reasons. Hell even combining freaking Google Lens with actual AR-glasses has countless applications just waiting to be used. However, for my personal usecase, I'm more into the VR/XR type thing of taking stuff into VR and stuff out of VR (into AR/real life) and things like you can do with VARIOs business products. But that's because the applications for entertainment and gaming there are almost endless. Purely for work or looking up things while traveling etc this is going to be awesome. Also, very dangerous while driving. Don't even think about it.

[@MarshMeadow1]

Wow, cool!

[@TheStarkster90]

So are we going to see these used in Secret Shopper 2021/2022 for the secret agent cred?

[@MuradSahibzada]

I really like this Guy reviews.. Is he has his own channel?

[@theapogee903]

Dude is actually funny. When he said it's in his mind... lol

[@marcus_cole_2]

This looks like it'd be perfect for any phone that has a true desktop ability like Huawei mate 20 pro or Samsung 10 with dex From there you could easily turn on the desktop mode on assuming and have your desktop experience anywhere in the world without a freaking monitor and all you need is a Bluetooth keyboards... Come in from there you could even launch stuff like Nvidia remote gameplay side loaded TV apps and more this is the kind of product I've been looking for and I'm hoping that air version would support both usb-c input and true Miracast import then you could have your cell phone in your pocket glasses on headphones on and sit in the subway watch a full-blown movie at 70 in big or you can play a video game with a gamepad this thing is amazing I want one take my money
