The author said he's looking for all day usage out of the Project Aura. These guys said that's not their specialty. They look at these types of glasses to be used like sunglasses, to be used when needed. I've owned almost every pair of XReal glasses dating back to when they were NReal, I have the XReal One Pros now. None are for all day use and if you are in the crowd of people who don't wear glasses, using them all…

Thats a silly thing to say. If steamframe used meta OS i would lose all interest. Why do you think meta OS would be better than steam OS? Do you think steam doesnt have VR games? A handful of exclusive games that meta seem to be backing away from?

Designing devices like this are about timing and what's available for the product you are trying to ship now.

That's not how that works at all. Companies like Hypervision have prototypes at different stages of development. The Much larger fov hybrid lenses you are talking about have a couple more years to bake. So NO, you can't just choose a lense design that isn't ready, snap your fingers and make it be ready for your product that is launching now.

They don't exist in the market yet; they're just prototypes. You also need computing power strong enough to run a fov like that, and that mobile chip would die trying to render 150, 180, or 240 fov if it existed in a usable form. Going up in fov generally is much more demanding than just raising render resolution. Fov of 126 is very good in the VR world and plenty for immersion and a good experience.

Hypervision have lenses that have an "undistorted Field of View up to 240°. Why not use any of those? 150° or 180° would have been better.

Some corrections: 1) There are only a couple handful of Quest exclusive standalone games of note. Nearly everything else is available for Steam Frame to run locally or stream from a PC VR version. 2) Meta isn't using AI-frame generation. 'Application Spacewarp' uses pixel motion data to calculate future pixel positions. Unfortunately, it's limited to only some types of visuals(e.g. can't cope with semi-transparent…

I wonder if they will bring it to the Pico too, just like Monkey Doo, my 11 year old nephew likes that game very much.

The batteries will probably only last about 20 minutes in Greenland

Of course OLED would be nicer, but if the image quality of these LCD's is better as my Pico 4 and with MUCH wider FoV, and an affordable (below 700 euro's) price, I wouldn't mind. My gripe with this one is the used 'old' soc, they should have gone with at least the same soc as the Valve Frame.
