Monocle: A pocket sized open-source AR device
As someone with only 1 eye, this is quite suited to me! I am actually sad that the previous crop of "low cost, slim, not earth shattering" AR glasses all died out. A camera built into one stem and some simple text displayed for one eye would suffice for a <i>ton</i> of use cases.<p>A killer app for me would be floating name tags above people's heads, but I imagine that would require better HW than what is available here.<p>I'd love to see what this looks like actually installed on glasses, in different configurations.<p>Some simple AR use cases that I'd like to see: ]<p>* Turn by turn directions<p>* Incoming high priority notifications<p>* Weather alerts<p>* Front door notifications<p>* Upcoming meetings<p>* Interior building navigation<p>* Shopping Lists (hard to do the interactions on this)<p>The issue here is none of these are a killer feature, so I wouldn't be willing to pay more than a small premium to have them added on top of what I normally pay for frames, but since I already am paying $300-$500 for frames (before insurance), if someone offers the above for another $100 or $150, sure why not.
