hey, make it stop.
There are no AR glasses that are ready for the mass market, not that Ive seen.
It bounces the image off the glass and into your eye.
The problem is that a truly immersive experience needs to approach 120 degrees to feel all-encompassing.
TheApple Vision Prooffers 100 degrees or so, and theMeta Quest 3extends to 110 degrees.
With only 30 degrees diagonally covered, you see a tiny window that is wide but not very tall.
Looking through the RayNeo X2 Lite gives you a postage stamp view of your AR content.
It’s a bad experience incomplete.
It feels more like peering through a hole into Augmented Reality, not immersion.
And introducing Missy the Schoolgirl AI into this peep show didnt help at all.
She’s wearing a skirt and top modeled after a school uniform.
Her personality wavers from shy to sarcastic, and her body language is usually demure.
I’m not sure what Missy can do, because RayNeo reps kept insisting I ask her to dance.
No, not ask.
I needed to make her dance, because if you just ask Missy can you dance?
she will say yes.
you oughta command Missy to dance.
you oughta say Dance for me Missy.
I was too grossed-out.
I couldnt say it.
I smiled sheepishly while RayNeo reps took my photo.
The meeting grew more uncomfortable as RayNeo reps kept pushing me to interact with this imaginary teenager.
The worst part is that Missy doesn’t fit the display.
I could only see her top half or bottom half.
To watch her dance, I needed to scan up and down her virtual body.
I felt truly disgusted.
That chipset can handle 3D photos and videos on glasses with two displays, like the RayNeo devices.
A supposedly 3D video also looked flat.
There are very few features on the RayNeo X2 Lite, and RayNeo does a poor job explaining them.
There is a mapping feature that can give you directions, but RayNeo couldn’t explain how it worked.
They couldnt show me the directions in action, and that explanation is missing some vital steps.
As I eventually hurried away, RayNeo reps asked me what I thought about the RayNeo X2 Lite.
I think the mobile world will end up on our faces some day.
Now I worry there is more work to be done than I ever expected.
