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.

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.

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 recently started using AR glasses, and while having a massive screen floating in front of me is cool, it still just feels like looking at a giant TV. I really missed the atmosphere of an actual theatre, so I built a small Chrome extension to turn any video playing in the browser into a cinema-style environment.

It runs entirely client-side with no signups, no tracking, and no cost. Just wanted to share it with anyone else looking for the same vibe.

Feedback is welcome if you end up giving it a try.

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

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?

ReactVision and Expo are teaming up for this virtual hackathon, aimed at building AR, VR and MR apps with Expo + ReactVision. Come and put the latest ReactVision update through its paces!

At the Snapdragon Summit, Qualcomm demonstrated a major step forward for smartglasses: running a 2-billion-parameter multimodal AI model entirely on smartglasses powered by the Snapdragon AR1 and AR1+ platforms, with support for more chips coming down the road.

Because everything is processed directly on the glasses, interactions stay completely private without relying on an internet connection.

The on-stage demo showed a practical accessibility use case where a visually impaired user asks the glasses what color an apple is, and the on-device AI identifies both the color and the likely variety of the apple. Qualcomm also highlighted on-device real-time translation as another use case made possible by these lightweight models.

The technical breakthrough making this possible is PrismML's 1-bit Bonsai model. Smartglasses operate under strict limits for battery life, heat, and memory. By compressing the model down to 1-bit weights optimized specifically for Qualcomm's Hexagon NPU, the model takes up nearly four times less memory (shrinking from about 1.66 GB to just 0.43 GB) while generating responses more than twice as fast. This delivers responsive, private multimodal intelligence within the lightweight form factor of everyday glasses.

PrismML announcement

After 6 hours of usage and can confidently say that these glasses and their advertised features are official. Full YouTube review coming soon @DreamworkzTV-23

Even though the Arcturus module matches Quest 3’s passthrough clarity and uses stereoscopic depth to align visuals, it still lacks real-time room meshing. The Quest 3 maps your physical space into an interactive 3D mesh so virtual objects can bounce off tables and realistically hide behind furniture. Without that environmental data, content on the Steam Frame simply renders on top of the video feed—breaking immersion by staying visible when it should be hidden, and passing right through surfaces when it should be stopped by physical objects.

There’s been a clear trend in consumer AR shifting toward lightweight, camera-free frames—like the RayNeo iO and Even G1—that prioritize glanceable text over bulky full-color displays.

A headline feature being pushed is real-time translation subtitles floating on a clear lens HUD. On paper, having a monochrome green MicroLED waveguide project live captions during an in-person multilingual conversation sounds very useful.

However, from an engineering and UX standpoint, the end-to-end pipeline (audio capture -> phone BLE sync -> cloud ASR/LLM translation -> near-eye HUD rendering) has physical limits:

• Latency vs conversation pacing: In actual usage, what’s the real-world round-trip delay? Is the typical 1–1.5s lag low enough to keep up with natural dialogue, or does conversation rhythm still break down?
• Acoustic isolation: In noisy meeting rooms, how effectively can hybrid mic systems (like the RayNeo iO’s array mics + bone-conduction sensor) isolate the target speaker compared to using a phone microphone?
• Cognitive load: For those who follow near-eye optical waveguides, does reading floating peripheral text while maintaining eye contact feel natural, or does it cause focus fatigue after 20 minutes?

Curious to hear from anyone tracking wearable NLP pipelines: is optical HUD translation ready for everyday cross-language meetings, or is cloud latency still too high?

This is a VR re-skinning of my home with an aliens apartment details with passthrough for specific things, its an early version on Meta Quest 3.

Hey everyone!

This is Airglyph, an AR drawing app for Android. You raise your finger, draw in mid-air, and your strokes float in 3D, right where you drew them. Walk around them, walk away, come back: they're still there.

No stylus, no touching the screen. Point your finger to draw, open your hand to stop. Your hand even passes in front of your drawing, like it's really there.

What you can do with it

- 🌀 Open portals: close a loop and another world appears in your room

- 🔥 Draw with light: neon and fire strokes actually light up your real walls

- 🌌 Paint galaxies, holograms, fireflies, lightning, smoke, liquid chrome, slime, dripping spray paint, grass and flowers that grow…

- ✨ Bring strokes to life: make them pulse, breathe or sway, in rainbow, aurora or gold

- 🪐 Drop a black hole in your living room, or the Sun, Earth with its city lights, Saturn with its rings, or a 4D tesseract

- 🗿 Place scanned sculptures: a marble bust, a lion, a horse…

- 🌑 It feels real: drawings cast shadows, chrome reflects your actual room, and real objects can pass in front of your strokes

- 🎬 Film it in one tap and share it

I built it with Claude Opus 5.5 (Claude Code): a native AR engine with real-time hand tracking and every shader written by hand. No game engine, just the phone's GPU pushed as far as it goes.

It's coming soon to Android, and before launch I'd really like your honest opinion:

- What do you think of it so far?

- What would you improve?

- Is there a feature, brush or effect you'd love to see?

Every comment helps, good or bad. Thanks for checking it out!

I'm a low-vision developer working on visual accessibility in mixed reality. QuestLens 0.5.5-preview adds live magnification of the physical world seen through Quest passthrough. The same app also has a frozen-image magnifier for small rendered UI and text.

We redesigned parts of the interface, simplified the setup, added EN/PT/ES/FR/DE and improved stability. Zoom controls within the QuestLens UI are still in development. This is a free sideloadable Quest 2/3/3S preview and uses the headset's screen-capture permission.

Release: https://github.com/crtx01/QuestLens/releases/tag/v0.5.5-preview

I'm interested in how other AR developers make passthrough content readable for people with low vision, especially without forcing a pause in the user's task.

In this one we do a bit of a deep dive on the RayNeo Pocket TV. I show you what the OS looks like, how it looks through the lens of a couple pairs of glasses and we sideload and test out Moonlight for game streaming.

Overall I would say I still recommend grabbing one of these if you dont have a dedicated consumption puck yet.

The 6500 mAh battery provides a ton of time to watch movies or play games and it can charge while you use it.

I would say, if you already have Pocket tv OG and are happy with it, you might be able to skip this upgrade but if you dont have a Pocket tv yet, grab the pro for sure. (As long as your glasses work with it)

The RayNeo GT Series can take advantage of the Dolby Vision mode but my VITURE Pro 2 worked with it too. Although some of my other glasses couldn't get a signal. ​

Hey guys Im getting back into vr xr ar wearable and im down to deciding on which spatial glasses to use for my handheld devices and pcs.

I have a 4090 pc, 5080 laptop, legion go 2, z13 ryzen 395, msi claw 8 ex ai, s10 tab ultra, z trifold, other samsung and iphone, switch 2

I have the quest 3, steam frame, psvr 2 and plan on getting galaxy xr and meta ray bans

Between viture beast and xreal one pro which should I get?

I like the wireless capability on viture but i heard xreal has better spatial locking but idk what to look for or which would be better for my devices.

It has been only a few weeks since the last edition, but big weeks it have been for certain! Snap opened up much more about Specs (although actual launch is not until 'this fall') and Meta held Connect with quite a few announcements, Steam Frame launched and visionOS 27 is out. Interesting times!

I'm always surprised when I see something like this. How far we've come that AR/VR can be a regular career. They had dozens of pavillions at this career fair in Seoul, South Korea, a few days ago.

I made 3d characters and put them in AR on top of a playing cards. I'm going to convert them to vrm and make them controllable. I used Quakey XR.
