[Product Request] OAR: OpenCV Augmented Reality (Headset)

DrewBarfield

I have a need for a simple AR headset that has two cameras (for normal stereo vision) and two associated HD displays all wired together with a Raspberry Pi (or similar SBC). The idea of course being that OpenCV/DepthAI code can be written to manipulate the headset display based on camera input.

(Maybe there should be two normal cameras and one OAK camera in the middle?)

In-painting a video on a wall (over an ArUco marker) would be trivial ...and such a headset would be very convenient and useful.

Maybe this could be Luxonis next $1M Kickstarter project? 😀

After further consideration, I'd go with two OAK cameras instead of 2 normal and 1 OAK. That would give the headset 8 Tops.

Also, I think the HD displays should 'wrap around' to include peripheral vision.

If I had a 3D printer I'd start hacking on this.

Hello @DrewBarfield , our team has no experience with VR/AR, let alone building an AR headset 😃 But something similar already exists, Project North Star, they are looking into integrating our platform into their headsets, you should check them out🙂
Thanks, Erik

I've heard of Project North Star. I didn't realize that it was still on-going. I'll definitely check them out again.

Thanks @erik !
