I’m looking for AR glasses that can overlay my computer screen onto the real world. I perform ultrasonic tests on forged metal components, and when I focus on the instrument’s display, it’s hard to keep my hand moving in parallel lines. Are there AR glasses that can help me see both the instrument display and my hand simultaneously? The display is PC-based using a VGA output.
There are a few options like Xreal and RayNeo. The problem is that they use DisplayPort over USB-C, and converting from VGA could be a hassle. If it’s PC-based, you might set up wireless screen mirroring to a phone using a remote desktop app, then connect the glasses to the phone, but make sure your phone supports the glasses’ output.
Consider Digilens or Nueyes; they might be more feasible for developers. Xreal is quite basic, and Viture is too. Snap glasses are okay, but I can’t comment personally. I like Digilens for its ruggedness, although its field of view (FOV) is limited, but there’s a modular option for a larger FOV if needed. Nueyes is more for medical use but isn’t necessarily more advanced than Digilens.
Digilens has useful sensors and cameras for hand tracking, RGB cameras for image recognition, voice recognition, and is very rugged. However, the standard FOV is around 30 degrees, so you might need to get an add-on for a bigger FOV. There might also be an eye tracking add-on option.
It sounds like you need a professional solution with good inside-out tracking, like the Hololens or Magic Leap. Be aware that these aren’t cheap solutions.
Do you have any papers or links on what your test looks like?
