The emergence of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) has the potential to significantly transform various aspects of our lives. These technologies offer opportunities to revolutionize learning, work, communication, and entertainment. In education, VR/AR/MR can create immersive experiences that enhance engagement and interactivity in learning. Moreover, in the workplace, these technologies can enable remote collaboration and training. Furthermore, they have the capacity to elevate entertainment and gaming experiences by offering more immersive and realistic interactions.
While VR has gained traction in gaming, its high cost limits widespread adoption for personal use, especially in simulation and training. Similarly, AR, which necessitates glasses or head-mounted displays, provides limited experiences when accessed through mobile devices. However, noteworthy AR applications, such as one that enables distance measurement using a phone, showcase the technology's potential. True VR, requiring glasses, faces consumer market challenges due to the high cost of high-quality head-mounted displays and limitations in user experience.
On the other hand, Binocular Monochromatic AR glasses present a more comfortable and lightweight alternative. Innovations such as MSHILOR's AR Glasses, with ultra-thin frames and utilizing unique diffraction waveguide technology, hold promise. MSHILOR'S Binocular Monochromatic AR Smart Glasses The thinnest part is designed to be 1.20mm, which is extremely close to the traditional glasses design to ensure the frame's strength. The frame width of traditional glasses is generally 0.8mm, the Refractive index: is 1.59/1.60, and the weight of the whole machine can be as light as 38g.
* Using a flat lens, and binocular display, the estimated overall weight can be as low as 38g
Slim temples, Extreme stacking brings 11.50mm slender temples, restoring the temple width of traditional glasses.
* The temple width of traditional plate glasses is between 10-15mm
* Huawei third-generation glasses, the widest part of the temple is 13mm
* The weight of OPPO Air Glass including the frame is 53g, These advancements in AR glasses signify potential progress in the future of VR/AR/MR technology.
While exciting opportunities lie ahead for these technologies, challenges such as cost and user experience limitations may hinder their widespread adoption in the next 20 years. The evolution and impact of VR/AR/MR on fields such as medicine, construction, and entertainment will be intriguing to observe.
