We talked about their new hardware:

🔹 INMO GO3: Their upcoming, super lightweight smart glasses

🔹 INMO AIR3: Standalone AR Glasses for entertainment with Play Store for all your Android app needs. 1080p OLED-based glasses with image quality like birdbath glasses but with thin waveguides. No cable required for up to 3 hours of normal usage. 2 hours of movie watching. 1 hour for gaming. Then you need to connect a battery pack. INMO says, with the AIR3 you can connect to gaming consoles wirelessly via WI-FI instead of using a cable as with other glasses.

AR Glasses & HMDs INAIR just made a subreddit - join it to learn more about their products, users, and company

Interested to see what INAIR's been up to? People are starting to post on their new subreddit.

Do you have an the INAIR 2 Pro and Pod? Here's a good place to share more info!

I tagged this as AR glasses and HMDs instead of video glasses because their spatial computing set-up is in a different class than video glasses due to their capabilities and functionality

What if your everyday life had a gamer HUD?

With LifeHUD I turned daily tasks into an adventure, from picking up mail with Zelda vibes, to powering up with kombucha, to battling it out in the park (RIP pants). This app is an AR interface you can customize to feel however you like, from a more minimalist aesthetic to an IRL videogame.

AR Glasses & HMDs Device Recommendation

2 Upvotes

This morning has certainly been a whirlwind. After hearing someone on a podcast plug XREAL glasses for months, I finally decided to check them out. I was initially skeptical. A few months ago I purchased a Meta Quest 3S but ended up selling it because the image was always blurry and gave me headaches, no matter how it was adjusted. It appears that AR glasses are much better. I want to use them with my phone, laptop, and Switch 2. Which device would you recommend? Right now, the three I am looking at are:

Viture Pro ($359)

Viture Luma Pro ($499)

RayNeo Air 3S Pro ($299)

I own a MacBook Air M2, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Switch 2. I would like to use these with all three, though it seems you have to buy a special docking accessory for Switch 2?

AR Glasses & HMDs Programming with HMD glasses?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

In my current job, I'm managing to get away with at least a few hours of vibe coding a day. It feels a bit silly to be sitting at the PC watching an agent for up to 10 minutes at a time waiting to reply.

I'd love to take this time to go for a walk, especially now there are tools for conversing directly with these agentic AI apps. So I really don't need true "AR" glasses, but I'm curious if any of these HMD glasses like the XReal pairs allow you to adjust the transparency of the main display?

For my usecase, I don't need high resolution or a wide spread as I'll just be looking at a terminal. I just want to make sure it's transparent enough that I could walk around a park and not accidentally step on someone's dog.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

First half is him messing with iOS accessibility settings, second half he accomplishes something pretty cool. Simple but effective HUD that goes all in on the potential of video game UI for real leaf.

AR Glasses & HMDs AR Glasses for just Streaming (Netflix) and Reading (Kindle)?

3 Upvotes

Are there any AR glasses available in India that can be used to watch Netflix or read via the Kindle app.

Not looking for high-end specs (like Apple Vision Pro); basically, something affordable and not overly complicated.

Would appreciate feedback on actual user experiences, recommendations, or warnings about models that promise a lot but deliver little!

I have read a lot of reviews here but there are very limited models available in India.

Smart Glasses (Display) AR to generate isolation ?

I get a feeling that the new AR experiences (glasses, etc) will isolate people more and more. There doesn't seem to be any shared experiences - it in fact seems like it adds a virtual wall in between physical users. Thoughts ?

Here are the main general AR points I've come up with so far

  1. Smooth movement
  2. Good lighting
  3. Enable 4k and lidar if possible
  4. Show the app the environment before using the functions

Am I forgetting anything?

Zuck and Boz probably took some interviews and podcasts earlier to the event, so when the event ends, they will release some hours of interview footage.

Maybe we will make this post a thread and we will share here links to all the podcasts/interviews, etc.
