This Dock Is the Only Way to Play the Switch 2 in AR. It Was a Very Awkward Experience.

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-07-23 22:00:12

I should be used to sticking odd contraptions on my head during plane flights. I’ve planted a Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro over my eyes as my in-flight entertainment and tried not to get motion sick while imagining what other passengers think of my sci-fi asshattery. On my latest six-hour, cross-country flight, I took my Nintendo Switch 2 out of my bag, then dug in for a USB cable, two pairs of augmented reality (AR) glasses, and finally a large power brick that was supposed to make this e

I took a walk with Meta's new Oakley smart glasses - they beat my Ray-Bans in every way

zdnet.com Sabrina Ortiz 2025-07-23 22:45:12

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET The Meta Ray-Bans have been a success since their launch, with consumers (like me) drawn to their regular form factor packed with mics, cameras, speakers, and AI. Now, Meta is catering to a more athletic audience with its new Meta Oakley smart glasses -- and with them, it has upped the ante across nearly every spec. As a glasses wearer, photo fanatic, and AI reporter, it was an absolute no-brainer for me to purchase the Meta Ray-Bans. After months of trying them, I was most

They're white. They're gold. They're very round. They make me look sort of like a guy who should be on a boat. Meta's next designer line of smart glasses has arrived. Meta Ray-Bans have been around for years, but the new line of Oakley HSTN glasses arriving this summer adds another, sportier style option. They also promise boosts over the Ray-Bans, both in battery life and video-recording resolution. How would they look on my face, though? I finally got an answer when I tried out a pair of the

China’s Wild World of AR Glasses Has Me Convinced Meta Is Cooked

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-30 08:46:18

I know I’ve said it 1,000 times, but AR glasses are hot right now, and arguably no one is more on fire than China. While the U.S. is patiently waiting for Meta to release anything even resembling its prototype AR glasses, Orion, China seems to be making strides day by day. The latest example? These glasses with full-color optical waveguide lenses and 900 nits of brightness from a Chinese company called Wigain. In plain speak, they’re full-color AR glasses with enough brightness to actually use o

Ad Blockers for Real Life Are Now a Thing, Thanks to AR Glasses

If you’re one of the many, many ad-averse, you probably have an ad blocker installed on your devices, which is great when you’re staring into the void of life’s many glowing rectangles as one does every day for the rest of their lives.

Could smart goggles bridge the gap between Vision Pro and Apple Glasses?

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-08-01 20:04:11

It’s widely acknowledged that while Apple is happy for any Vision Pro sales it can get, the primary purpose of the existing headset is to let the company take a first step in the journey towards an Apple Glasses product. But while a cheaper Apple Vision still seems to be a couple of years away, along with the company’s equivalent of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, we are now seeing the potential emergence of smart goggles as an interim device – with TikTok entering the fray … Vision Pro is just a

These ‘4K-Like’ AR Glasses Are Actually Only 1080p, but I Want Them All the Same

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-08-04 08:00:27

When it comes to gadget specs, it’s best to be precise. For example, if you were buying a TV, you may want to know the resolution, and if you showed up to Best Buy and the tag on your brand-spanking-new Sony said “kind of, sort of, 4K,” you’d probably have some questions. Same goes for AR glasses, in my opinion, but that didn’t stop Viture from slapping “4K-like” branding on all of its new frames. It also doesn’t stop me from wanting them all the same.
