AR glasses create 3D experience directly from smartphones

Rokid Vision glasses are different from other models because they include processing power

Spotted: China-based Rokid is developing augmented reality (AR) glasses with the computing power to generate immersion experiences from a smartphone. The glasses can generate a virtual desktop to work from or an active 3D experience for gaming.

Rokid promises the glasses will provide immersive sound, be lightweight and be affordable. A companion app is also planned that would allow give the wearer the potential to turn their smartphone into a remote for an AR TV. The glasses will be commercially available in 2020.
