Today I unboxed RayNeo iO. These are lightweight display smartglasses. At only 33 grams you can wear them all-day. See for yourself if you like this design.

And a reminder: We have an AMA with the product managers for RayNeo iO and RayNeo GT coming up on September 4 in r/SmartGlasses

Space-Time Convergence: The Future Interface for City and Ecology

Shenzhen's development epitomizes the coordinated advancement of technological innovation and urban evolution. The Asia-Pacific bird migration routes demonstrate the connecting power of cross-border regional ecological networks. Here, time converges with space, and cities coexist in harmony with nature. Technology links the past and the future, as well as urban governance and ecological conservation. Urban spaces embrace the vitality of development, and also shoulder regional collaboration and ecological responsibilities.

Situated in the atrium of Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning, this installation applies AR to integrate architectural spaces with ecological visions, depicting a future where humans and nature flourish together. Going forward, cities will be more than just carriers of development - they will serve as platforms for joint creation featuring technological innovation, ecological protection and public engagement. Open, collaborative and shared digital interfaces are connecting governments, industries, communities and natural ecosystems. Together, we explore new paths for sustainable development and witness the integration of time and space.

I have vitrue xr pro. I haven't used it alot. I have a hard time with this setup due to needing a mouse and kb.

Its hard look at my phone and screen.

Its also hard to carry around a small keyboard. I prefer to just have everything strapped on to multi task easier.

Thinking of getting a air mouse to scroll easier. That part is solved but the hard part is the typing. I prefer something related to qwerty layout or close. I can't do mini Bluetooth keyboard either.

Im looking at some wearable like tapxr, tap strap 2, decatxt, typeware(not out yet), twiddler.

Keep in mind I sometimes walk and do other things so I prefer not to sit all the time to type. I'll be using ring mouse to scroll on one hand while using the other hand to type with wearable keyboard. I need to know which set up is best if you guys have other ideas please.

Hello! I've been a VR user since 2022 once I got my Quest 2. Since then, I regularly use it for flight simulation, but only that. I wanted to use it for social VR for a while, but didn't have the time to do it, though I have used VRChat a few times. I also studied computer engineering in college, and have experience in coding and IT. Recently, I've been participating in the Japanese anime production space, and started on a new path.

Back in 2024, I started writing an original anime project that involves mixed reality and long distance relationships set in a near-futuristic Japan. Progress on the anime is going smoothly, as I have finished the reference sheets, part of the main story, and animation storyboards. Trips to Tokyo, Okinawa, and Osaka were made in order to experience the cities, and take photos of the areas I want depicted in the anime. I also have people working for me as animators. This story resonates with my personal experience with digital loneliness, and being in a long-distance relationship, that I wanted to make it into an emotional story. Being with someone who is far away from you, and being able to communicate on a device makes a relationship feel more separated because you can’t feel their physical presence. The story will go beyond VR, and will explore deeper topics.

Synopsis

The main character is a computer engineering student who moves to Tokyo, but has been socially isolated for a couple years after the death of his mother. He finds comfort in virtual reality as escapism, and starts developing an app that projects a holographic image of the user into a mixed reality space, as if the user is there in-person, despite being far away. While in Tokyo, he buys a smaller mixed-reality headset with passthrough (headset is based on Bigscreen Beyond 2, but with passthrough, wireless, an OS, and universal cushion) and full body motion trackers, in which he uses to further develop the project as a practical communication tool for himself, so he can learn how to socialize again. His first tester is a girl from Okinawa, who he met on a multiplayer VR game and he sends a copy of the headset and trackers for her to set up. They eventually start talking through mixed-reality, as if they were next to each other, when in reality, they are distant.

Theme

The theme focuses on healing and bridging the gap between isolation and connection by longing for true romance. The long distance connection creates a tension between the characters, as they go through their days without truly being with each other; both with struggles of their own go through a slow, emotional healing journey that culminates in their first true connection.

Unique perspective

Each interaction between the two characters happens in a first-person POV through a VR headset. They are never shown together, until they eventually meet in person.

Concept Art

Inspiration

The concept was inspired by a lot of things throughout the two years of development, but what solidified the idea of the mixed-reality long distance relationships were the face tracking videos made by HashEdits like this one for example, except way more advanced, and implemented using augmented-reality, so that the user can communicate with someone in the real world.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for developers who I can personally consult in regards to accuracy when it comes to developing VR/AR apps for various platforms. If anyone here develops mods for VRChat, rigs models with motion tracking, can implement social VR into augmented reality like the Quest 3, or any other useful information, please let me know, and I'll be glad to respond to you and connect. I'd love to make friends with people in this community, and your help is greatly appreciated.

extra note: if you can speak Japanese, please let me know :>

Hello!

Hope this is the right forum but I'm looking a pair of AR glasses that can help me with my loss of peripheral vision. I saw Brilliant Labs Monocle that would fit quite well but they've stopped selling them.

The main features should be a camera that can stream onto a HUD that can either be adjusted to where it displays, or have a fixed position on the lower half of the field of view (since I'm blind on the upper right quadrant).

If anyone wants to build me a product described above then contact me and we'll come to an arrangement.

Thank you!
