ODG launches R9AR glasses Its experience is not lost to HoloLensOsterhout Design Group (ODG) is one of the important military enterprises in the United States, founded in 1999, formerly known as a technology incubator, and currently mainly makes AR head-mounted displays. Recently, ODG launched its ODG R9 4K AR glasses, whose stylish appearance shows ODG's strong technical strength and the possibility of realizing holographic images.
As recently as December 2016, ODG had just closed a $58 million Series A funding round. This is the largest Series A funding round for any wearables and AR/VR company. According to Nanalyze, ODG has been developing wearable AR devices since 1999. ODG's R-7 AR glasses were introduced to the market at the end of 2015 and received positive feedback from early adopters.
However, the company is planning to take AR technology to another level. ODG's R9 AR glasses have already had an initial prototype, and their appearance did not disappoint. According to 913VR, it was learned from intelligence sources that the R9 AR glasses are equipped with dual 1080 resolution light field transparent glasses and a 50-degree vertical viewing angle.
Such a design can cover a large part of the user's field of vision. Its wide field of view and opacity light field glasses can also be used in VR technology. The ODG R9 AR glasses have a built-in Android system and ARM processor, which has independent computing power and does not need to be connected to a PC.
In addition, the R9 AR glasses are equipped with a number of sensors. These sensors, which scan the environment, are different from those used on Microsoft HoloLens glasses. The sensors on the R9 AR glasses do a pretty good job of tracking the mixed reality experience around them. However, the R9 AR glasses are not currently able to read gesture recognition features like those integrated into HoloLens.
However, the ODG R9 4K AR can support many numbers of modular accessories for fashion and technology users. It is reported that as early as 2014, Microsoft paid $150 million to ODG for the purchase of related AR wearable device patented technology. At CES 2016, ODG also showcased its latest AR technology, with its stand-alone computer glasses and 3D displays with "see-through" effects that have a wide market Navigation systems and inertial sensing technology enable users to experience telepresence, remote maintenance, and remote repairs.
In recent R&D, ODG is experimenting with devices that integrate on-site environment mapping and provide businesses with hands-free utilities where users can use glasses to view checklists or instructions while performing critical tasks. Compared to the high-profile Google, Magic Leap and Meta AR, the ODG is very low-key, and only industry insiders have heard of the company's name.
The potential of ODG in AR wearables is not even lost to Microsoft, and in the future, ODG will gradually come from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and become more well-known. Ben 913VR Net, Boots Eyewear.
