VR/AR Begins Picking Up Steam Again With New Glasses Including One You Might Wear In Public

https---blogs-images.forbes.com-bradtempleton-files-2019-06-vrgineer-1200x1103If you are hard-core, however, then a new generation of high-resolution glasses have arrived. The most impressive were those of Varjo which, at $6,000, had better be very good. Varjo places a rectangle in the center of the view which has nearly "retinal" resolution. The rest of the screen is not that shabby either. The things you focus your attention on are almost as sharp as real. You can see fine detail, read small print. The small rectangle can be noticed but it's fairly subtle. I felt much closer to being in a real place than I have felt before.

North Focals

The other exciting device as the conference was the North "Focals" glasses. These glasses are very close to being devices that could be worn all day by the average glasses wearer, going after the same goal that Google Glass had.

Unlike Glass, the North's display shows up right in the center of your field of view.
