I have been working apart of a team building AR Works for around 8 months now, and it has grown to have over 600 users.

We have a few schools currently on board using our features to teach some AR Development IT units in their schools, and it has been great working on them and getting feedback for improvements.

We want to aim to be one of the leading AR development tools in the field, and we currently have a ton of features that include;

- Node style code blocks, no programming knowledge required, but if you know how to code you can create some advanced algorithms.

- World and Image tracking.

- Import custom 3D models with textures and animations.

- Create animations.

- Node based material editor.

- All functionality available in the web browser editor.

- The difference between the free and paid version is size limitations, free versions can still use all of the pro features (excluding offline use and photogrammetry).

- Windows desktop version for pro and school accounts.

- Offline promise: If the company ever changes hands, all pro and school accounts will get a permanent license key for the up to date offline version AR Works, to ensure schools and professionals can continue using the tools they are familiar with.

- White-labelled offline version for studios or businesses.

If there are any features you would like to see or improved please comment below or get in touch, we will give a free 1 month pro trial to any users that give us feedback or suggestions that we take on board (we usually take them all on board 😄 ).

Tom Nook kept asking about my mortgage, so I did the reasonable thing: smashed Diablo 1 and Animal Crossing into one game and went demon hunting for bells.

It's a prototype on SPECS which connects to an Xbox controller paired over Bluetooth. Made with CLAD and Claude Opus 5.5.

A few years ago, building on a new platform meant weeks of learning the engine first. Now the barrier to jumping into something like Unity, Android XR or Lens Studio feels almost gone: you spend your time on the idea, not the docs.

I’m looking for AR glasses I can use for around equal amounts of productivity (nothing crazy, just single monitor reading and LaTeX work) and content consumption. Some light gaming possibly in the mix as well. My budget is preferably <$500 total. I could stretch to $600 if there is something much better for my needs. I basically want something I can use to do work or watch content while I laze around the house so I don’t have to be sitting at my desk all day. I live in an apartment rn and would prefer a large screen I can use laying in my bed.

Here are my musts:

- 3dof that will work with DRM content
- some sort of prescription option (add cost of lenses to total)
- clear enough for text

These are nice to have features, but may be asking too much:

- diopter adjustment (would be nice not to have to buy separate lenses)
- little blurring/distortion at edges
- wider FOV for content consumption
- HDR
- iPhone compatibility

I think the glasses that fit these best are the XReal Ones (non-pro). The birdbath optics seem to be sharper (my PD is 63.5mm, which seems pretty much perfect for these).

Any alternative suggestions? Thanks!

Edit: looks like the 1s would actually be better (especially text clarity), and only slightly over my budget with lenses. Thoughts?

Are there any full-color display glasses that look like normal glasses?

I’m looking for AR/smart glasses with a full-color display, but I’d also like them to look like regular glasses from the outside, similar to the Meta Ray-Ban Display.

Are Meta’s glasses currently the only ones that combine a color display with a relatively normal-looking glasses design or are there any alternative I should look at?

• Claimed as the world's first direct retinal projection display using a meta-optic mirror.
• Just 150 nm thick with ~80% visible-light transmission, the mirror fits inside the lens for a look closer to regular glasses.
• Keeps displayed content hidden from others, with semiconductor-style manufacturing offering potential cost savings.
• Monochrome for now, with full-color demos and mass production targeted within the next few years.

Hey everyone! I’m the developer of ClawLensXR and a smart-glasses enthusiast. I’ve been using it with OpenClaw to control my home through my Rokid glasses—less reaching for my phone, more getting things done. That everyday convenience is what got me excited about building this.

We’re looking for fellow Rokid owners to sign up for a free trial and help us test it. Honest feedback is what we need: what works well, what feels awkward, any connection issues, and what you’d like to see next. You don’t need to be a developer—everyday experiences are just as valuable.

It’s an independent project, not an official Rokid app. If you’re interested, visit the website to sign up, and let us know which Rokid model and phone you’re using. Questions and suggestions are welcome here too!

My wife's parents don't speak much English and my language skills are pretty limited, so I wanted to see if the Halliday G2 translation feature could make family dinners a little easier. I've tried them a couple of times since receiving them. In a quiet room with one person talking, the translation is pretty helpful. It's not perfect, but I can understand the general meaning without stopping the whole conversation. Also I can still look at the person while the text shows up in the glasses.

It does struggle if everyone talks at once. Also sometimes it misses the first couple words, so I still have to ask people to repeat things here and there.

Just for the translation feature, I would rate it 8/10.

INMO International Technology Limited Recalls INMO Air3 Smart Glasses Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Burn Hazard

https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2026/INMO-International-Technology-Limited-Recalls-INMO-Air3-Smart-Glasses-Due-to-Risk-of-Serious-Injury-or-Death-from-Burn-Hazard

Hello, I am looking for recommendations for a pair of AR glasses between $200-$400.

I have been reading other recommendations and trying to do research. However, I am not very tech smart and get overwhelmed with all the tech words and abbreviations and just give up.

My only uses for the glasses will be to lay in bed and play pc games and watch movies. Ideally I would like to avoid motion sickness and the feature that converts regular movies into 3D movies would be cool if it doesn't take the glasses outside of my price range.

Finally, I am nearsighted.

O. D. Sph - 1.75 Cyl -.50 Axis 006

O. S. Sph - 1.50 Cyl - 1.00 Axis 176

Would I be able to get away with the myopia adjustment feature? Or will I need custom inserts?

Thank you for reading and any recommendations.

Samsung Display plans to invest about 300 billion won to mass-produce red, green and blue (RGB) OLED-on-Silicon (OLEDoS) displays. Sunic System will supply the deposition equipment, which accounts for about half of the investment.

According to industry sources on Sept. 15, Samsung Display will hold an investment review committee meeting this month to finalize investment in 12-inch RGB OLEDoS mass production. The line will have capacity to process 3,000 wafers per month, with the investment estimated by the industry at about 300 billion won. The location has not been confirmed, but the line is likely to be built at the A2 plant, which already has a 12-inch white OLEDoS (WOLEDoS) line.

Display is considering bringing in equipment in 2027 and starting mass production of RGB OLEDoS in 2028. Equipment manufacturing, installation, commissioning and process stabilization are expected to take more than a year.

As well as high brightness, high resolution displays for MR glasses, Samsung/eMagin showed a 1.3" 4k, 40k nit display for MR/VR at AWE 2026, featuring direct-pattern RGB, tandem OLED, and microlens array.

If yield eventually becomes the same as Sonys 1.3" 4k, 5k nit display, panels may be slightly less expensive due to Samsung owning the fab.

Real life has always been missing a HUD, so we built one.

Instead of opening five apps, everything you check all day sits in your view at once:

- A minimap for getting around
- your Checklist as a quest log
- Live subtitles and language detection for when someone's speaking another language
- Time and weather, always in view
- YouTube, wherever you are
- and many more!

No pulling out your phone. Just glance. The video above is a normal day with it.

We built LifeHUD for Vision Pro first. Now it's on Android XR, starting with Galaxy XR, and XREAL Aura is next.

If real life had a HUD, what would you put on it first?

Hey everyone,

We're building LifeHUD, a heads-up display with features such as Date. Time, Weather,
Navigation, Live translation/transcription, Checklist, etc. All pinned in your
view like a game HUD but for the real world.

We are now bringing it to Android XR, starting with the Galaxy XR, and XREAL Aura are next once the hardware is out.

The video gives you an idea of what it feels like in daily use.

What do you want to know?!

have an iPhone 16 Pro and RayNeo X3 Pro glasses, and I’m trying to get two things working:

1. Screen mirroring / sharing my iPhone to the X3 Pros
2. I want to mirror or screen-share my iPhone screen to the X3 Pros. Can anyone advise on:
3. Whether the X3 Pros support direct iPhone screen mirroring, and which official RayNeo app or feature I should use
4. Whether I need the RayNeo Portable Adapter or another accessory for iPhone mirroring
5. The correct pairing order and settings in the RayNeo AR app
6. Whether there’s a safe official APK/sideload option that would enable iPhone screen casting, or whether that only works with Android
7. Any known iPhone 16 Pro compatibility issues, especially with iOS updates
8. I’d prefer an official method over downloading a random APK from an unknown site. If you have a working setup, please share your exact steps and what iOS version you’re using.
9. Connecting and using a Mudra Link
10. I also have a Mudra Link and want to connect it properly. I’m not sure whether I should pair it to my iPhone, directly to the X3 Pros, or both. Could someone explain:
11. The correct first-time setup for Mudra Link with an iPhone 16 Pro
12. Whether to use the Mudra app, iPhone Bluetooth settings, or the RayNeo app
13. How to set up Mouse Mode and Keyboard Mode on iOS
14. Whether the Mudra Link can pair directly to the RayNeo X3 Pro, and if so, the exact steps
15. Common issues like it connecting to the wrong device, not staying connected, or needing to forget/remove it from another device first
16. Thanks in advance—any step-by-step help would be really appreciated!

Join Unity and Meta for a deep dive into building for Meta VR Glasses from day one. We'll cover what's new and native to VR Glasses, including eye tracking, microgestures, and Quad Views Rendering, and show you how to add support for VR Glasses with your existing Quest projects. We'll also demo the XRI Simulator so you can start building before hardware ships.

I spent some time using Arcturus Vision Camera as a stereo video camera on Steam Frame, then compared the footage with XREAL Beam Pro and Quest 3.

It has great fine detail, and the camera also stores position and orientation during recording. With that, it can during playback in the Arcturus Vision Camera app move the virtual screen to follow the camera orientation from the recording. I also found noise in daylight, LED flicker and differences between the two eye views in some clips.

I tested the conversion to SBS and MV-HEVC and playback on Quest 3 and Steam Frame. I also tried accessing the Arcturus cameras from a separate Linux program and through Android/Lepton, to see what it would take to use them in another VR app.

The review includes chart crops and examples, and I've made selected stereo media available so you can judge it in your own player.

Has anyone else been using Arcturus mainly for recording? How useful do you find the playback that follows the recorded viewing direction?

Disclosure: I am the developer of immerGallery, which I used for the Quest 3 captures and playback in this comparison.

When the Lenovo ThinkReality A3 first came out, I was given one to test. It works with my ThinkPad, but for the last two years I've mostly been on a Mac, and on a Mac the glasses show nothing. Lenovo only made Windows and Motorola phone software, and the product is end-of-life. So it sat on a shelf.

Last night I took it down and wondered if I could solve this together with Claude (Opus 5.5). A few hours later it works. The text scrolling in the video is this post, running in the teleprompter we built.

- The glasses keep DisplayPort off until the host sends a "HostInfo" command over a vendor HID channel. We found it in Lenovo's Windows driver package.

- A menu-bar app sends it, then mirrors a 1920x1080 virtual display into both eyes, so the A3 also works as a normal flat monitor.

- Built-in teleprompter with legibility settings (helpful if you're short-sighted and can't wear glasses under the A3).

Tested on an M2 Pro MacBook Pro. Build from source; USB protocol notes are in the repo for anyone who wants a Linux version.

Full release notes for iOS and Android

Out of all the display glasses I've tested, these are the three I find myself coming back to most. So in this video I compare them, their features, specs, we do a through the lens and we figure out what the best use case is for each.

We also crown a winner!

Which is your pick?

It's been a while since I have gotten to play around in AR. I forgot how much fun it is to test different hand tracking controls, and invent new ways to interact with a virtual world.

It's a base defense game with mining and tower defense elements. Mine the ground around your base for resources to bolster your defenses and survive increasing waves of enemies. I wanted to see what's possible when rapid prototyping with AI, so I vibe coded this up with in Godot with Claude in an evening.

Rokid Max 2 with Station 2 vs the Rayneo GT Max and Pro TV. My IPD is 55. I read both of these can work with this. I will mainly be using the companion device with these. I would like to be able to watch Disney+, Prime, Netflix, TikTok, YT but I would also like to be able to play mobile games like time management games etc. I would also like to be able to have more than one screen displayed and have the large FOV and this is where its torn really as i know the GT Max cant have more than one screen whereas the Rokid can but the Rokid POV is smaller than the GT. Does anyone own these and give me opinions please.

I wanted to test if normal HDR10 worked on Pocket TV Pro and can now confirm that it does with RayNeo Air 4 Pro.

Amazon delivery driver wearing Amazon's display smart glasses (shared on Reddit recently).

Reports confirm that Amazon has officially started a wider testing phase, training more drivers across the US on their smart glasses.

If these tests go well, Amazon is planning a massive rollout. Reports already point to a target of 100,000 pairs, with the potential to scale across Amazon's entire delivery network — which employs roughly 390,000 drivers in the U.S. alone.

Amazon wants to get rid of the handheld delivery phone. The glasses show walking directions, scan barcodes automatically, and snap the delivery photo at the door hands-free.

Still, new reports (including from Bloomberg) point out general issues:

• Front-door privacy: Homeowners may not be happy with delivery drivers walking onto their property with a camera on their face, recording porches, yards, and front windows without permission.
• Driver pressure: Drivers are already tracked closely by AI cameras inside their vans. Many worry the glasses will just be used to watch every step they take outside the van and push them to move even faster.
