Great to meet you at CES! 👋
where can I buy?
@@alexandergalvez4612 where are you need Alexander?
I liked the TCL glasses the most .. hopefully it will contain a lot of apps which are working when the glasses are released in 2nd quarter of 2023.
Thank you for the presentation !
Not sure if we have actual confirmation of consumer launch date. Hopefully Q2.
I expect there will be translation, captions, and navigation to start. Not likely much else. However these appear to run Android or WearOS, so we should be able to load 3rd party apps, including the Wearable Intelligence System (see my other videos for Wearable Intelligence System demos).
@@caydengineer TCL says the RayNeo X2 will be available to select developers in Q1 2023 “followed by a commercial launch later.” So yeah , i was wrong with 2nd Quarter 2023 in my original post.
I am very excited about the upcoming lightweight AR glasses in the close future. Finally those will move our heads back again in an upstraigt position from former looking down on the smartphones in our hands all day long, at least while playing, watching movies or youtube content ;-)
And navigation will be awesome on those too !!
Wi-R looks really cool. As invasive BCI fan worried about different malware, I think this technology will made it safer.
Here's what I mean: we cannot physically turn off something implanted in our body (I don't want to have a switch on my head), so imagine catching screenlocker for your eye! So, i think, BCI could play role of wireless headphone, connected to external device - like smartwatch. But if we talk about bluetooth or other classic wireless technologies, it might be not so easy to disconnect infected computing device - malware can take control of it. And Wi-R allows disconnect it just by taking smartwatch from your hand, without need to turn it off entirely!
Yeah, that's a great point. Wi-R is awesome in terms of power usage of course, but the privacy possibilities are amazing. Bluetooth and WiFi literally advertise your presence wherever you go and there's all kinds of data that can be sniffed. Wi-R solves that by making it difficult/impossible to pick up that signal without being very physically close to the user.
Please make a video on what Mediatek and Meta are making in AR glasses? That sounds interesting.
Thanks for the request, I'll see what I can do!
Thanx for the update ! and wow 10 km :)
Thanks for watching! Did you have a favorite technology covered here?
@@caydengineer well no since you did not cover your wearable intelligence system :) As soon as a vuzix ultralight comes out i will buy one :)
great video. Everytime I see these things I just think about how beneficial it would be for one of these companies to just commit to making a ballcap to better stash the hardware and batteries. The weight would be much easier to disperse and would allow for larger batterypacks.
Niantic is working on this now for MR gaming. Hat could be a great form factrk. One issue with that, though, is you can't really wear it all day every day like you can glasses, and hat form factor doesn't include the eyes, so you'll break social comfort.
I love your channel dude. You're the Jake Paul of smart glasses.
I'm not sure if that's a good thing, but thanks! ;)
It feels like we're at the early stages of this tech. We're working on all the different types of uses as solo devices. And eventually when the tech is worked down to a smaller size that'll work together we'll get the all-in-one like we have now with mobile phones.
Currently we got visual displays, fitness trackers, live translation (and/or other accessibility), and other AR uses. And probably more I can't think of ATM. But eventually it'll all condense into one pair of glasses or visor.
Totally agree, but those EDITH glasses are going to take 8+ years to get here. But in the next 2-3 years, the use cases that can run on simpler, lower power devices will take off for consumers imo.
@@caydengineer yes. I've been thinking about what's holding tech back right now and my best guess is battery. Size, weight, max charge, and rechargeability. I think once we can get smaller and lighter batteries this type of tech will be very common. But for now it's case by case, use by use.
Thanks for all your informative videos. Would you please give me some advice?
I would like to get some smart glasses for playing highly demanding video games (cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, etc.) on my high end gaming laptop.
Do you have some (three would be ideal) recommendations? Thanks alot, Henry (Berlin, Germany)
I really just want 5 things from smart sunglasses:
1. Wireless
2. Navigation features
3. Plays music and videos
4. Takes pictures and videos
5. Somewhat decent looking
I feel like these companies are so focused in doing so much that it ends up being worse. They either pack so much in that it has to be sold as enterprise just for cost or it needs to be tethered.
But if a company can pull that off those aspects well at a reasonable price it will do well in the consumer market. But we're at the over sell stage of the technology to garner interest.
Just giving your glasses you'd wear anyways basic entertainment or assistance functionality imo is key. The INMO Air technically is this but it's pretty terrible in implementation.
Totally agree. Companies keep making bad, naive tradeoff decisions, and the whole field suffers.
@@caydengineer Yup, hopefully we see a basic functional pair. Your open source ones may just be that!
Yes, I think you nailed it, all these company try to do so many unnecessary features. I think most important feature would be ability to see real time video of their line of sight for people with vision problems
Can you recommend glasses that are optimized for reading? I do public speaking but am visually impared so having my speech in my eye is better that glancing at a tablet or trying to memorize everything.
Public speaking might still be a bit tough as the glasses won't look as "normal" as you might like. The Vuzix Blade might be an alright solution there though.
I want a pair of smart glasses, which have a game on them which duplicates an a fantasy world/quest so I can go to the park and fight orcs. Similar to how Pokemon Go projected the digital world over the real world the. Rhe glasses would read the landscape and insert things as adjusted. Give us a blue tooth ring to monitor hand movements, and you would get people outside again. Imagine going to the park, downloading a Star Wars like Call of Duty game, and being able to go against other people Lazer tag fashion (complete with graphic Lazer blasts going to your target) as you run around. It would be awesome.
Merge the movements with the smart watch
Sounds pretty fun! Might be more along the lines of an AR HMD for now, but Niantic and others should have some cool experiences like this coming soon.
Will all of these do transcription with an app?
Most of them will! If you need a solution tailored to hearing impaired (as you mentioned in another comment that you're hearing-imparied), reach out to Xander or XRAI.
Good night, Cayden. How are you?
I am a Latin UA-camr and I am really passionate about the AR industry.
I was wondering if I could use some of your footage in my new video on this theme, as there are no such events in my country and certainly not near my city.
Thank you so much for reading this comment!
Sure, you can fair-use some clips if you link back to this video.
Im planning my gaming setup to include mixed reality and augmented reality.
Should i leave a full white wall in my room available for projections 😃
I know holograms loves to come out of walls or stick to them
Therefore i think it makes sense right?
For HMD AR, a black wall may be ideal. For an actually projector (not HMD), then white makes sense.
Will, there be smart glasses/AR with out wifi
Yep! I think the first generation of truly all-day wearable glasses won't use WiFi because of power requirements. Take a look at the existing Engo 2, or the coming hardware, like Vuzix Ultralite - it's all BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) based.
Further, we might even see glasses using next-gen communications technologies like UWB and Wi-R in the near future, if phones start to adopt it more strongly.
Hey this is such a great video! I would like to know your opinion, which one is the best AR glasses for work? I travel a lot, but i don't want to always open my laptop for work when I travel. I searching for a glasses that had a keyboard and mouse like function, maybe you have a recommendation for me?
Take a look at "screen smart glasses" like Nreal Light/Air, Lenovo ThinkReality A3, NuEyes Pro 3e. These will need a computer of phone to power them. If you can manage with just your phone OS, then you could get a bluetooth keyboard + mouse, pair them to your phone, plug the glasses into your phone, and work on that, without needing to carry around a laptop.
Are the Vuzix Ultralite glasses available as binocular displays or only monocular? Paul mentions clearly shows and mentions two displays in his interview with TechStation. Just curious.
I was told they are monocular. The pair I saw had a waveguide only in the right lens.
However I just watched the interview, and you're right that he does make it sound like there are two displays. I think they're monocular, and in the fast-pace of a live interview, Paul didn't clarify fully. What I was told in real life - right temple/end-piece box has display engine. Left temple/end-piece has battery, MCU, and communications electronics.
So, to be clear, as far as I know, they are monocular and will stay that way for the time being.
I am a big fan of your channel. I need your help. I'm sick and can't move my fingers and hands very well. my voice is weak and unclear. I'm looking for ar glasses that I can wear all day. I would like to connect the glasses to my Android smartphone and use the apps. I just want to control everything with my eyes because they work best. can you recommend glasses for my purposes? thanks in advance. Lukas
Hey, sorry to hear that. I'm not sure of an exact solution for you. You can look into existing accessibility tech like Cognixion or Augmental.tech.
If you're serious about this, reach out to me directly (caydenpierce.com) and I will connect you to Augmental.
Hi. Have you seen any kind of glasses that can be used with prescription lenses and are able to record voice and video for 30min, at least? Me and my workmates are suffering a lot with management problems and work harrashment in a way that we are building the case for collective cause. Could you point us some models?
Perhaps some alibaba "spy glasses"/"camera glasses" and glue your lenses in. Maybe Snapchat spectacles + contacts. Vuzix Blade 2 but it will be very obvious.
Be safe and legal when recording people unknowingly.
@@caydengineer in this specific case, se can record our daily activities if we don't record our clients without consent.
VUZI 🚀
What up PC bro!!!!
LOL!
Why did you not review solos airgo 3 with chatgpt
I didn't see them. Also they don't have a display, and there's a thousand and 1 non-display / audio glasses around.
Do you know any good Smart glasses for zooming in
It depends on your needs. Do they need to be mobile? Long battery life? Light?
I haven't seen any good demos of this. Most smart glasses have really crappy cameras and camera lens relative to, say, a smart phone. Something like the Nreal Air might work here. You could do it on a Vuzix Blade or Inmo Air, but the camera would be grainy.
Wow so grateful to have found your channel! I am a music producer using mac, I would love to use my music production software (logic pro) in an AR setting, what AR glasses that are on the market rn would you recommend? Or would you recommend waiting? Thanks for your content! Subscribed & liked 🙏
Hey! Do you mean that you want to view your DAW as a 2D display on glasses? So basically, have your monitor appear on your glasses? If so, that would mean you want some screen smart glasses, like Nreal Air or ThinkReality A3.
Or, is there something else you want to do? Realize your apps won't be 3D or mixed reality until a developer actually makes them that way.
What music are you making? Link some!
@@caydengineer Thought I'd respond from my main account! Well I checked out the nReal ones and if that product is actually on point and can connect well to Macbook its definitely nice, the thing is that some reviews say that the screen quality isnt so good and some say it is, andits hard to film it right. I've tried some of those VR glasses with my phone and that is definitely way to blurry to enjoy a production session. So to answer your question it would mostly be to do daily work with multiple bigfger screens, I normally work on an ultrawide monitor while producing but now im traveling and thats not an option, but I do miss it. Thanks for the ellaborate response man!
All the music on this channel! Thanks for asking man 🙏
The thing what I like with the nreal glasses is that its mixed, I dont like to be closed off in a VR headset all day
Well, you coupe probably try the Nreal and return it if it doesn't meet your needs. I know a few people who are watching videos on it for over and hour a day.
Let me know if you try it.
Cool, thanks for sharing your music, I'll check it out!
@@caydengineertest it and describe your experience here, please!!! As a gamer, I would love to have a gigantic screen and a straight neck. Also, it might be important to be able to pin the video window to some fixed point in real space, f.e. attach the virtual monitor to my wall, and glue it to this wall and have an imaginary 120-inch monitor in front of me every time I come into the room with this wall. I would play in a vertical position, not sitting. It would also be great to use it at my work while giving English lessons. My students would be able to see my eyes, because the lenses are clear.
Can you explain whyexactly you consider yourself as an engineer?
Because I have personally crashed web backends with Python bugs, burned myself on a soldering iron over 50 times, and lit a vehicle on fire twice.
Imagine the look on that guys face after he found out that he went to give a demo at 11:30 at night for someone with 2k subscribers :D
By the look of the product, I doubt he figured it out.
Hi, I am totally not into the topic and have never tried on any VR or AR glasses. Please tell me, is the AR technologie far enough to walk through a real life environment while seeing it with a realistic looking AR Experience blended over the real environment? so like watching a realistic 3D animal or something?
So far, AR glasses can be used to broaden the experience of mobiles and desktops. Some glasses can even prop up multiple monitors, such that you now have beautiful portable monitors within your glasses wherever you go, be it on the plane, at a coffee shop or even sitting at home. And yes, it does overlay reality very nicely, some can even fix holotabs in position while you move your head, or have holotabs follow your head movement. As for VR, there is still a lot of development that is needed.
Can anybody update me i want to start to sell VR Goggles what can you recommend where should i start to partner up ?
much love from Sweden!
Dude. You missed Viture One.
Which smart glasses look normal, I mean no robotic expression to my audience; and can act as teleprompter?
The only glasses that look completely normal are not yet on the market. Your best bet would be the Vuzix Shield at this point. Otherwise, 2024 should have some more options.
How can I order it ?
Order what?
Free Beer!!!??!!!
Can't beat that!
7:01
8:57 This guy definitely needs to chill out.
Your video needs work its too hard to follow, like titles when you move to next product and a first image of what that product is. You just blend talk too fast and im thinking about the last product not knowing that you have moved on to a new product
Thanks for the feedback, will try to incorporate in the future.
Nreal seems nice but I don't like the fact that you need a cable. Vuzix I can't buy in Sweden. Or I can but the Blade 2 which is not for consumers and if I'm gonna import fr the US I will have to pay a fortune in taxes.
