Augmented Reality, like its cousin technology Virtual Reality, has been growing in popularity in recent years. A lot of this has to do with the introduction of apps like Pokemon Go where users could catch the critters as they move in the real world as if digital creations were actually there. As a result, a lot of companies like Microsoft and Google are working on products meant to revolutionize the AR experience. One of the more niche brands doing the same thing is Epson, and its Moverio BT-300 is the lightest AR glasses in the world. It can also be used to control drones like a dream too.
The glasses have silicon-based OLED displays and a front-facing camera that is mounted on the frame. It also comes with 1280 x 720 resolution, providing crisp, HD imagery. Powering the device is an Intel Atom x5 4-core CPU and has a battery life of up to six hours. Based on its performance so far, it’s not only the lightest AR glasses commercially available, it also has the muscle to give users something to think about.
One of the more attractive prospects about using AR glasses is the ability to do all kinds of cool things with them, not just play a trainer of virtual pocket monsters. In movies, TV shows, and books, advanced glasses could project information when looking at objects and even allow virtual control over computers. It would seem that the BT-300 can do exactly this.
During a recent presentation, Epson Product Manager Eric Mizufuka also allowed representatives of Commercial UAV News to try it out when controlling drones. The result is a virtual interface where the users could literally see what their drone cameras see as if they were looking through the lenses.
Aside from allowing users to do things like work on their projects, have a conference call, or surf the web using the glasses, products like the BT-300 could also have substantial implications for other tech industries. If users could fly drones using the glasses, who is to say that pilots can’t fly planes without being in the cockpit someday?
