combine Xiaomi Go with an OrangePi and two shitty cheap cameras to create macguyver-tier AR goggles

2018-05-01 10:36:49 UTC  

eh just wait for the leap motion headset details to be released

2018-05-01 10:36:53 UTC  

that should be good

2018-05-01 10:37:02 UTC  

wonder how much it's gonna cost to build one though

2018-05-01 10:37:17 UTC  

Every time I have to wait for shit it makes me wish I just ordered it off of ebay 😦

2018-05-01 10:38:17 UTC  

for some reason i trust chink tech companies more than western tech companies at this point

2018-05-01 10:38:29 UTC  

i don't know why

2018-05-01 10:38:42 UTC  

>no 3.5mm on the A2

2018-05-01 10:38:44 UTC  

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

2018-05-01 10:39:11 UTC  

bentech, is that software that these Leap guys use FOSS?

2018-05-01 10:41:20 UTC  

they're planning on open sourcing a bunch of stuff

2018-05-01 10:41:23 UTC  

including the headset

2018-05-01 10:41:27 UTC  

so you can bassically just 3d print it

2018-05-01 10:41:34 UTC  

have to wait and see tho

2018-05-01 10:41:50 UTC  

i see they're at least not entirely retarded

2018-05-01 10:42:25 UTC  

it's OK to open source that shit once you got your product out the door, if you do it any earlier then the chinks will have you ripped off before your stuff even hits the shelves

2018-05-01 10:42:39 UTC  

nah they're not planning on releasing anything commercial

2018-05-01 10:43:11 UTC  

?

2018-05-01 10:43:17 UTC  

it's just a dev platform mostly

2018-05-01 10:43:31 UTC  

hmmm

2018-05-01 10:44:24 UTC  

well then i'm back to square 1

2018-05-01 10:44:37 UTC  

buying that Oculus Go after all

2018-05-01 10:45:04 UTC  

cuz i'm like 99% certain that their devkit will be ayyy lmmaoo tier expensive

2018-05-01 10:45:11 UTC  

the leap thing?

2018-05-01 10:45:12 UTC  

it does not really matter if the protocoll and code is not open source/decentralized away from ad-companies

2018-05-01 10:45:25 UTC  

in the end product that is

2018-05-01 10:45:26 UTC  

they said you could in theory build it for under 100$

2018-05-01 10:45:27 UTC  

at scale

2018-05-01 10:45:33 UTC  

yeah right

2018-05-01 10:46:01 UTC  

yeah they're deff gonna keep their tracking propietary lol

2018-05-01 10:46:34 UTC  

and they need to slim that fit slightly more

2018-05-01 10:46:46 UTC  

dev platform 🤷

2018-05-01 10:46:50 UTC  

yeah

2018-05-01 10:47:02 UTC  

i mean makes sense

2018-05-01 10:47:05 UTC  

i don't believe that price tag for a second when most phone screens are at or over that price as replacement parts, and those screens can only do 60fps, but these guys are claiming 144fps for their device

2018-05-01 10:47:15 UTC  

its just lcd + reflector block

2018-05-01 10:47:28 UTC  

i wonder if it could be dont with microprojector instead of lcd

2018-05-01 10:47:59 UTC  

who even makes 144fps screens a a reasonable price point yet

2018-05-01 10:48:13 UTC  

nobody has that shit, not oculus, not vive, not microsoft
