Augmented reality glasses? Depends on the look

Oppo comes with a new augmented reality glasses. It reminds us of Google Glass. Glasses that didn’t quite become a hit after all, partly for privacy reasons and the fact that they were perhaps not the most fashionable frame. How is that now? In our poll, we asked whether Androidworld readers would put augmented reality glasses on their noses. The answer? Only if the price and appearance are right.

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality

The major difference between augmented reality and virtual reality is that augmented is just a layer over the real world while virtual reality puts you in a completely virtual world. That is why VR glasses are often a kind of closed ski goggles and augmented reality glasses are a kind of reading glasses that got out of hand. In short, the two are quite different in appearance.

That appearance turns out to be an important factor anyway, because our poll in which we asked whether you would put augmented reality glasses on your nose, shows that looks and price make the difference. 53 percent of people who answered the poll say they might, but it depends on the price and appearance of the glasses, among other things. 30 percent do not like it: “no, just act normal, then you are already acting crazy enough”. Yet 11 percent are also ready to be one of the first to walk around with AR glasses. 6 percent don’t know.

Horror movie

Nobody is clearly not of the latter category, because he knows very well what he wants: Nobody: “No, and if someone wants to start a conversation with me, they should also turn that thing off 👍“ Joe agrees and gives even gave us a movie tip: _Joe_: “I recently saw a horror movie on Netflix or Amazon. Jerusalem. There was filmed full with Google glass and I only saw the benefits. Had I known that in 2013. So now I see it. navigate…. meet people and directly see their data via Facebook and the like. So something like that.”

Der Rudi takes a more practical look at it all. Der Rudi: “Do they also have prescription lenses? Of course it doesn’t work for me otherwise.” Now we don’t know Rudi’s strength, but Oppo’s will come up to strength, so that you can take a good look and also with extra information. But yeah, now that price tag.

We’ll be back with you next week with another poll, see you then!
