@hackaday reminds.me.if #ZackFreedman's #Optigon, tho that's an #AR #Display / #HMD / #HUD...

Darf auch gern nen Klotz für'n Gürtel sein mit nem seperaten Display zum anclipsen so wie bei #ZackFreedman's #Optigon:

@thoralf Also effektiv nen #HeadMountedDisplay wie das #Optigon von #ZackFreedman (bzw. andere kommerzielle Displays dieser Art)?

And yes, I think #ZackFreedman should commercially sell builds of #Optigon|s because I do want to get my hands on an #HMD like that for ages...

@Xantw0 @PupOka Even outside of the Kink Community and DIY Drone Mask builders, I see a lot of wasted potential with a lot of masks.

  • Whilst most do have an option for proprietary prescription lens mounts specific to the manufacturer if not model OFC (!!!) they don't have any good way to integrate any #HMD that is actually useable.

  • Cuz stuff like the #Optigon by #ZackFreedman tejds to be incompatible with #Masks and espechally not fit under a mask...

Like even for their "Target Markets" like Fire Departments and HAZMAT areas in #industry and so forth having an integration for a #display the wearer can actually see would be a gamechanger, as it allows quick and easy access to information even if it would be just a videostream sent over via radio or something as trivial as air consumption and tank pressure...

  • Wearing a big-ass "Kirby Morgan" Helmet woth enuggh space inside isn't an option and certainly too cumbersome outside of technical diving in raw sewage. (Don't ask me how I know)...

@gulovsen As I said before already, the #AppleVisionPro or any #WearableComputer of that kind can't become a #MassMarket success for all the reasons starting from the #price over being an #Apple product aka. hamfisted into uselessness and also lacking not just reasons and #applications to use it outside of the spechal nieche-cases that need #AugmentedReality and #EyeTracking.

  • There, it's clumsy development tools and limitations are an acceptable exchange for being dozens of times cheaper, lighter and less cumbersome to setup at the user level than competing options. Just like the #ProDisplayXDR's price tag was only insulting to the people that never were the target audience to begin with (tho not having a real, stable and hard-fixed #VESA-Mount is an unforgiving sin given that they could've easily made that happen instead if a shitty & overpriced adaptor!)...

Personally, I'd consider building myself a #Optigon + #Somatic combo instead because that shit I can at least use with my existing tools and without misplaced trust into a #GAFAM that bows before the "P.R." China of all regimes...

@[email protected] I mean, AR for complex stuff makes sense... Like having an engineer fixing a turbofan on an airliner have the maintenance instructions in their FOV and being able to contextually see relevant data (i.e. Hydraulic Pressure a line is supposed to have or the torque at which the bolt has to be affixed they screw in... Similarly, it does make sense for surgeons to have relevant info at hand and like a dynamically overlaid HUD that shows the planned procedure and can overlap additional info (i.e. X-Ray and MRI images)... And for those areas, Microsoft sold their HoloLens quite well as the cost of a fuckup is peanuts compared to a fully decked out portable workstation and hygenically encapsulated setup like that. I just think the #VisionPro will never be a mass-market item, even if that makes me sound like #SteveBallmer reacting to the #iPhone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eywi0h_Y5_U

Seriously, I'd rather want a #HeadMountedDisplay like the single-eye #Optigon that #ZackFreedman built out of an #Epson #Moverio #BT40...
