The point of presenting real Ray-Bans in augmented reality. There is a company, which is rarely talked about, but which seems to be (at least for the moment) the most advanced in terms of augmented reality viewers: Snapchat . that was the first to inaugurate the Stories – little used in Europe, but which still has almost 350 million daily users – presented the latest version of its Spectacles glasses about 12 months ago . With a weight of only 134 grams (against the approximately 50 of a normal pair of glasses) and a decidedly cyberpunk style design, the headsets created by the laboratories of the company founded by Evan Spiegel are the only ones that combine an almost normal look with real and own augmented reality lenses . Unlike previous (and not very successful) versions of.
The Spectacles, this new edition has not been mobile number list released for sale, but is intended only for a limited number of developers. Among the functions already available today – to remain with those that I was able to try firsthand, during a presentation reserved for the press which was held in Milan – there is the possibility of superimposing flowery meadows on the floor of the house and seeing digital butterflies land on your physical hand, to project the solar system inside a room, to escape zombies coming out of the walls, to paint graffiti on physical walls and other games of this type. For the moment, therefore, these are fun curiosities related more to entertainment and which represent only an embryo of what we expect from this world.
Nonetheless Snapchat has shown that it is currently the most advanced of all: the only company globally capable of creating AR viewers that can be used almost like normal glasses . However, there are still many limits : the new Spectacles have a battery that lasts a maximum of 30 minutes, a longevity that is certainly not sufficient for constant use such as that imagined for the future; furthermore, digital objects do not cover our entire visual spectrum, but are only found in the center of it limiting.
