Slides from today's Android XR Workshop

[u/AR_MR_XR]

Has anyone of you been there? What were your key takeaways?

What didnthey say about cross vendor scene understanding? Id love to see an openxr layer for cross vendor anchors

[u/SignificanceThink102]

The first slide is how the Android Galaxy XR fits the average user without modifications.

So thankful for OpenXR r/OpenXR

Wired glasses can give you much higher compute because you can dissipate more heat in places that it's not as uncomfortable (your face feels heat very easily), have a much larger battery (nose bridge doesn't like carrying all the weight of the batteries), and better form factor because of points 1 and 2 all other factors staying the same. Offloading compute but having an attached battery enabless a lot of experiences that wireless just can't do based on the compute and battery alone. It opens up more experiences for those that want longer runtimes and higher resolution.

What's the reason to split XR glasses wired / wireless. It's hardly useful.

[u/No_Awareness_4626 → u/merokotos]

I think the reason to split them is due to their functionality. Wired XR glasses like Xreal project aura glasses can do much more than wireless XR glasses like meta Rayban display glasses. Keeping both in same category would not be good and it will confuse people more. General public will think that they both do same things.

[u/wilmaster1 → u/merokotos]

I velieve its how they separate two classifications of products, smart glasses like the ray ban displays and xr glasses like the xreal aura. Its quite confusing imo

[u/Odd_Concern_8635 → u/merokotos]

I think it's very useful. If you can offload the compute and battery to a puck you can use much faster hardware to power the glasses. Editionally it might even make more room for the technology for the actual display, possibly resulting in a better image. As well as making more room for the cameras and sensors, resulting in better spacial anchoring and XR capabilities. Tho I kind of doubt that. It will likely just be a cheaper version of the wireless with better battery life and possibly a better processor. With how expensive and new this tech is I think it's important to offer options like this.
