These AR Glasses Are the First Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Products

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor will probably control the Samsung Galaxy S8, the LG G6, and other top cell phones this year. Yet, until further notice, the 835 will make a big appearance in the R-8 and R-9 expanded reality glasses from the Ousterhout Design Group.

CES 2017 BugODG's shrewd glasses have so far been endeavor gadgets; they're for coasting instructional or relevant data noticeable all around while you're settling an auto or a pipe, for example. The R-8 and R-9 attempt to request more to buyers. They will have content from different Fox properties, including motion pictures, TV and books, ODG said in a public statement. The organization is likewise flaunting an intelligent hustling diversion.

ODG's AR Glasses

I got the chance to wear the R-9 glasses. They're Android-based, and can be controlled either by voice or by squeezing catches and turning a wheel on the underside of the sanctuaries. The main application I could utilize was a video player, which superimposed a 720p motion picture over reality as though it was playing on a wide screen before me. The glasses were moderately light at 4.5 ounces, in spite of the fact that they unquestionably felt like I was wearing PC equipment all over.

However, the experience was a great deal more about without hands data utilization than about really expanding reality. While the glasses can do genuine increased reality, mapping a room and associating with the scene to put virtual characters and furniture in your reality, they can't do it amidst a media scrum where 30 individuals are snatching for the glasses without a moment's delay, an ODG rep clarified. So I couldn't contrast the glasses' AR capacities with Microsoft HoloLens, their most eminent rival.

The R-8 will cost under $1,000 and touch base in the second 50% of this current year, and the R-9 will cost around $1,799 and land in the second quarter of this current year.
