Slight peeve, that’s not being processed onboard the glasses but on the separate compute box, a Moto phone. Still nice but you can put heavier hitting compute when on that setup while keeping the glasses lightweight

You can put that compute on the glasses. The real problem is heat dissipation. It is what killed google glass.

Just put the compute inside a cute little hat

Sure, HoloLens has plenty and it’s all on the glasses as well. But at the cost of weight and comfort.

Weight and comfort are essential for a product like this, if it was indiscernible from a pair of sunglasses everyone would get one

Yes. On the other hand: in the glasses is a Snapdragon XR1 Gen 1 and if that's a Motorola Edge+, there's a SD 865 in there... both not the most efficient SoCs today. Hopefully QC can run this on the Snapdragon AR2 in the future.

Wonder how much bandwidth is needed and if it could be compressed to Bluetooth

Can’t say too much, but it’s in the works.

Source: I was on the team that designed the original compute box design, at Lenovo.

This is really cool tech, great work!

Would be an interesting use case for lifi since conference rooms or desk space is always well lit.

Would require some infra but if it were only in certain areas the overhead probably wouldn’t be much to realize 1.5 gbps+ throughput

You can just Venmo me cash if you use the idea 😉
