From what I understand the thing isn't see through and the eyes are actually projected outside. Can somebody explain why they had to add tech to do it?
Achieving realistic, fast camera passthrough on both sides is harder than you think
Yes, that's my point. Why? Why make it extra more complicated and more expensive for no good benefit?
For no good benefit? Try comparing the display to a HoloLens 2. There's no current display technology that's cheaper and allows you to see through while projecting the light at the same intensity. You can search it up.
I think they're asking why eyes need to be projected on the outside.
Or anything for that matter.
All I'd want is "Go away. Gaming." But a Post-It would do just fine. Hell, I'd prefer googly eyes than my own projected, that'd be way cooler and more useful.
I accomplished everything I need by taping a piece of paper with sharpie eyes on my Quest 2 and it cost me $0 to do so!
I'll point to someone down this thread about eye contact in that case. It's not like it costed much though, reviewers have noted that iSight's display quality is quite horrible and it seems like all this features added was a small screen
