meta 2 like welding goggles? There’s a 90 degree view

1f virtual reality (VR) is still a niche device based on games and movies, then augmented reality (AR) is more likely to become the mainstream of the consumer electronics market one day

ar devices are usually designed to look more like glasses, and you can see the real environment, and superimpose digital images on them, which is why they are likely to be worn on the street. Of course, at present, the representative of AR devices is still helmets like Microsoft hololens, and a similar device called “meta 2” has been provided to developers at the end of last year

the form of meta-2 can not be called qualified glasses. 1t still looks like a helmet or welding goggles. At the same time, unlike hololens, meta 2 still relies on PC as the host, so technically, it is not as advanced as hololens, which runs independently

of course, the price of meta-2 is not as exaggerated as hololens. 1t costs only $949 (about RMB 6565), while the latter is $3000 (about RMB 21000). However, the augmented reality image of meta-2 does not look as realistic as hololens, mainly due to some jitter problems

but meta-2 has several advantages, such as its 90 degree viewing angle, which is basically the largest in AR glasses, and is comparable to VR head display; Secondly, it is comfortable to wear. Maybe the shape looks strange, but it will not slide down because of the wearer’s movement, which allows you to move your head more freely to see the AR image clearly, rather than just at a specific angle

in other words, no one dares to wear meta 2 as it is now. This is the part that manufacturers need to improve. Ryan Pamplin, the company’s vice president of sales, said that the problem of independent operation will be solved within one year, and the design will be improved to make the new meta a kind of foldable and lighter glasses, so that people can pack them into bags at any time. 1n addition, the tracking performance of AR images will also be improved, which is very expected
