After a few days using the ANNAPRO A2 Head Strap for Apple Vision Pro I can say that this product is awesome, I had a great experience and is a great deal for the price. I also made a small video about the setup and how it looks.
I have an e-commerce of tshirt. I want my customers can try on the tshirts of my website before purchasing. What is the easiest and cheapest way to do so? If there ain't any easy or cheap option what options do I have? Thank in advance!
So far we don't know anything about the partnership, only that the Bolon brand is on the flyer for the Rokid event on Nov 18!

I'm majoring in VR/AR and writing my Bachelor's thesis in spring/summer of 2025. Does anybody know any companies or agencies open for supporting a Bachelor thesis?
Made by Danilo Makio Saito: "Many people have asked me about the process and tools I used to create my spatial interaction animations, so I thought it would be helpful to share a bit of my workflow.
On the left is the viewport in Blender, where I modeled, animated, and rendered the core of the interactions. Some elements missing in the 3D—like the 2D UI in the first scene and the clouds in the second one—I added or tweaked later in After Effects. I also used Figma to create some of the UI elements and then imported them into AE.
When communicating a vision of an experience, I like to leverage multiple tools rather than just one for everything. I found that this allows me to be faster and enables my creativity to flow more smoothly.
Maybe one day I’ll create a more detailed tutorial and full breakdown. But for now, I hope this is helpful. 🙂"

My team worked on an Instagram Filter project recently but no matter how we adjust on Spark Studio, it's still looks extremely blurry across all Android devices we tested it when we published the filter. We are very much aware of the shut down and the "Images and videos not optimized for Android when taken and posted on Meta" but we still want to address the issue for our client. Is there a way to fix it without compromising the maximum AR file size?
Only posted this concern on reddit to keep anon since I'm just really afraid to ask on the community on Facebook.
On October 29, 2024, SHARGE, LOHO Eyewear, and iFLYTEK signed an exclusive strategic cooperation agreement in Shenzhen, aiming to create the world's leading "full-time shooting + high-quality audio + multimodal AI" smart glasses. With the goal of annual shipments exceeding one million units, they will jointly create a leading brand of smart glasses, making them the preferred AI ecosystem entry-level hardware for users worldwide.
Core executives from all three parties attended the signing ceremony and stated that each has leading advantages in their respective fields, and their capabilities complement each other perfectly. They can build a hardware, software, and service ecosystem around smart glasses, making them the first choice for all users to purchase smart glasses and AI hardware.
SHARGE, the youngest team in this cooperation, has become the pioneer of AI smart shooting glasses. Their products currently lead in terms of completion and user satisfaction, and they will hold an official launch conference in December. SHARGE's hardware team comes from leading mobile phone and drone brands, and their software team consists of core founding members from leading large-scale model companies. They have an online and offline integrated marketing network covering the globe and have established branches in Europe and North America for their glasses products to achieve localized overseas expansion. At the same time, they have accumulated over one million high-spending core users worldwide, accumulating sufficient resources for the market promotion and sales explosion of AI smart glasses. This is also the core reason why LOHO, a brand with thousands of eyewear stores, and iFLYTEK, a leading large-scale model company, chose to reach a strategic cooperation with SHARGE.
SHARGE released its first LOOMOS AI Glasses this year: sharge.com. The upcoming product in cooperation with iFLYTEK and LOHO will be unveiled in December.
Hou Xiaping, Director of Smart Hardware at iFLYTEK's AI Interaction Business Department, stated that iFLYTEK, founded in 1999, has been engaged in the core technology research of artificial intelligence, such as intelligent speech, computer vision, natural language processing, and cognitive intelligence, and maintains an international leading position. In evaluations by authoritative institutions such as the Development Research Center of the State Council, Xinhua News Agency Research Institute, and MIT Technology Review, SparkDesk's comprehensive capabilities rank first in China. In 12 mainstream Chinese and English test sets at home and abroad, SparkDesk V4.0 surpasses in 8 items. The Spark speech large-scale model, based on SparkDesk's capabilities, supports 74 languages and dialects without switching, solves the problem of speech recognition in strong interference scenarios, and surpasses OpenAI Whisper V3 in the first batch of 37 mainstream languages.
This cooperation with SHARGE and LOHO Eyewear will provide industry-leading core technologies such as complex environment speech recognition and multilingual translation, providing multimodal interaction support for smart glasses, achieving more natural voice control and intelligent question-answering functions, providing users with more personalized services, and ensuring that these smart glasses have an excellent intelligent experience.
SHARGE, LOHO, iFLYTEK sign strategic partnership agreement
LOHO's founder and CEO, Huang Xinzong, stated that LOHO Eyewear is a leading innovator in the Chinese eyewear industry. Through online traffic integration and offline traffic reception through omni-channel innovative operations, they provide vertically integrated services encompassing design, production, optometry, and glasses fitting, completing the consumer experience closed loop. They have over 1,000 brand eyewear stores nationwide, selling millions of pairs of glasses annually, and the company has raised over 1 billion yuan in funding.
The LOHO team has always been very optimistic about the AI hardware track and will fully leverage its advantages in design, branding, channels, and glasses fitting in this cooperation. They will build an online and offline integrated service system around AI technology and smart glasses, ensuring a leading service experience for users in all aspects of purchasing, optometry, and after-sales, and fully empowering the creation of explosive products.

I am looking into getting one of these 2 glasses but it's hard to find many reviews that are current on them. In my findings, one of virtue's issues was that was it was a little less comfy in comparison, and that it has a greenish/yellowish picture color. Xreal I read that the software sucks to the point most people don't even use it anymore and it very slow with any sort of update.
So any advice would be awesome. I definitely want one of these 2 (unless there is a better 3rd option I haven't heard of) but want to make sure I get the right one. I mostly want to use it with my Samsung phone and my steam deck for around the house and traveling. Please help make my decision easier. Also, is there a store I could actually try these to compare?
User u/PointyHead posted this rumor to r/magicleap today, and it looks like the company is either going to file for bankruptcy or already has.
I took a photo just in case the post disappears, but it's starting to sound more likely that the company will close up shop, and this is greatly disappointing to me.
This is disappointing to me to say, the very least.
If anyone knows anything, please don't hesitate to post any news on either sub.
Or you can inbox me on Twitter/x, or even message me through Reddit PMs.
I'm sure the story will develop further.
I'll try to keep everyone posted and am already researching the legitimacy of the claims.
The glasses market is getting more differentiated. And until now we had only one post flair for all types: AR Glasses. But many of these products don't do full AR. And a lot of people are asking for certain use cases like screen mirroring. That's why I want to test different post flairs for different types of glasses.
Game-changing moment for 3D graphics! Niantic, Inc. just open-sourced .SPZ - the first purpose-built file format for Gaussian Splats that's about to revolutionize how we create and share 3D experiences.
Why this is massive:
• Slashes file sizes by 90% (250MB → 25MB) with virtually zero quality loss • Lightning-fast uploads/downloads, especially on mobile • Dramatically reduced memory footprint • Enables real-time processing right on your phone
Think of .SPZ as the JPEG of 3D scanning - a universal format optimized specifically for the mind-blowing potential of Gaussian Splats.
Tech breakthrough: • Smart compression of position, rotation, color & scale data • Column-based organization for maximum efficiency • Innovative fixed-point quantization & log encoding
🌟 Best part? It's all open source under MIT license. This is how we accelerate the future of spatial computing together.

I am working on a startup where we are leveraging MR and NLP to help industrial workers in logistics and maintenance reduce cost and improve safety by doing things like identifying warrantable items, using past safety incidents to inform new safety assessments etc. tangible benefits.
We are looking to use cheap AR safety glasses, form doesn't matter and we don't need much in terms of functionality most of the work will be done in the cloud anyways we mainly just need simple text overlays and camera.
Any ideas? advice?
I'd rather not have to get into the hardware development if I don't have to but most famous prodoucts I've seen so far that are intended for use for industrial applications are boiling the ocean.

Thank you ALL & let me know as always if you’ve any questions!
Hello world! I have been looking into ar glasses online, the technology has gotten far better than i realized. My question is, how are they when it coles to pc gaming? Is the latency too high for fps games? What models are the best? Which ones are good enough but does not break the bank? Can they charge while being used? Hows the picture quality compared to a vr headset?
