AR Laptop Without a Screen
AR Laptop Without a Screen
Sightful’s augmented reality computer now has a pimped design and better specs—and it’s finally available for preorder.
If I don't need to have a screen on the thing, why be constrained to use the laptop form factor at all? That is, in significant part, a product of needing to stick the monitor where it is.
The best way to type is still with a keyboard. It's useful to have touchpad for backward compatibility. You need battery, a box to put hardware in and a keyboard, basically that's a half laptop

Sure. I don't need to have the bulk of the electronics in a flat package beneath my keyboard, though. At that point, I can use higher-profile form factors.
Depends on size and power needs. I feel like this would be the perfect situation for a wrist mounted keyboard/mouse setup.
It might be the transition technology like blackberry was to the iPhone.
Hopefully they will learn to keep up with consumer demands and not try to force people into their form factor.
Fair point 👍 maybe it'll help adoption if it's not radically different than what people are comfortable with? Not sure.
I've been messing with compressing down the form of the computer with a vertically stacked battery and mainboard from a framework laptop. It makes it into a nearly wearable form, about the size of an antique casette recorder.
Amazing! Would pair nicely with xreal glasses as a virtual monitor, assuming it's got USB-C with DisplayPort. I've heard of people using a mini PC like that.
That's exactly the use case. I've got a well loved pair of NReal air glasses as well as the Xreal Air 2 (pro? I can't recall).
Still working out the right way to do keyboard and mouse input for wearable computers like this.
