NVIDIA has filed a patent for groundbreaking AR glasses, setting the stage to compete with Apple and Meta in 2025. These glasses utilise a digital holography display system, offering superior optical occlusion, reduced power consumption and a backlight-free design.
Key Features
- Natural Field of View: Seamlessly integrates digital overlays with real-world visuals.
- Outdoor Optimisation: High contrast and clear visuals even in bright conditions.
- Lightweight Design: Slim form with minimal face coverage and advanced heat management.
NVIDIA’s glasses use ambient light for energy efficiency, similar to e-paper displays, and feature selective darkening for power-saving and better usability. This approach aims to overcome the challenges of earlier devices like Google Glass by improving social acceptability.
The launch of these AR glasses could redefine wearable technology. For opticians, this signals new opportunities at the intersection of eyewear and advanced tech.
