AR smart glasses with displays now widely available in UK but must be connected to a smartphone to work
have made attempts, both sporting cameras for recording others, but so far there have been no glasses for consumers with displays for the wearer to view. Until now.
OLED displays hidden in the top of the chunky frame project images on to the transparent lenses in front of your eyes. The virtual display they create is surprisingly crisp and bright. However, the idea of AR recognised by many – where objects in your vision are highlighted such as cultural landmarks – is not possible as the glasses lack the necessary cameras or sensors to “see” the real world.
The image through the glasses is surprisingly crisp and clear, particularly in dimmer conditions or with the optional blackout shade clipped to the front of the glasses.There is an interesting virtual cycling experience available. But it feels more like a demo, simply playing a fixed-pace video of a route though a city or landscape on a floating screen in front of you as you cycle on an exercise bike.
The majority of media streaming apps and games work but those that restrict payback when you have a TV attached do not, such as Sky Go. The glasses have small built-in speakers, which work fine but broadcast the audio to those around you. Better to connect your own Bluetooth earbuds to your phone to provide the soundtrack.
