Eyes work in tandem, including focus. If you have a screen over one eye, there's no good way to have what's displaying on the screen cooperate with what the other eye is doing.
Similarly, I think VR is out: sending disparate signals to each eye would be murder on the inner ear. So that leaves a Google Glass-style AR overlay, which remains an ok idea, but is apparently pretty hard to get right.
I've been vaguely interested in buying one for quite a while, although it's one of those purchases I haven't made (and probably won't) because I can't actually see any real use for it.
Always wanted one. So bad. I don't think our tech is there, we still can't accurately measure someone's power levels. But one day, our grandchildren will and it will be beautiful
A single eye VR/AR headset, think a Borg ocular implant, but smaller and nicer looking. With a high quality camera for see-through functionality. Used as a HUD for, well, anything. Reading web pages, Google Maps, Google Search and Assistant, notes, schedule, how to instructions, etc.
Definitely a very niche product (then again, so was Google Glass), but I would love to make one haha. Best thing is, anyone could build it using easily available components and software. https://github.com/relativty/Relativty was my inspiration, I see no reason why that wouldn't work in non-3D on a single display.
Anyone have any thoughts?
(Also, if you want to build it, hire me, I would work on this 12hrs/day for ramen money heh)
