It’s a nice and fun concept. With lot’s of very interesting technical challenges. The lack of finding more info about it can be a little frustrating to some and prevents them from appreciating it to the fullest.

What does god have to do with this? And which one are you referring to exactly, your god, the god of others? Since there are many religions and many kinds of gods. The whole god concept is very confusing and full of holes.

He had other priorities and based on both his attempts and there fact that he put his build log on Twitter this guy didn’t actually try looking into well established lens making techniques.

He was referring to the sort of waveguide optics used in the epson moverio, he harvested his display from, which are entirely different than the method used here. This system is using a much simpler approach. There is more than one way to skin a cat.
That said, You can already find raw oled pumped waveguide assemblies on ali, if you dont want to gut a consumer product.

He’s likely just ignorant of the actual processes needed. Mind you it isn’t easy, but one-off optics done to very high precision is completely achievable with time and patience. In this project he opted for a lower quality product to prioritise other aspects of the system.

what a great build!
praise the guy for his ingenuity, he even built his own lens!!!

the toxic replies here suck.

Zach Friedman mentioned in a recent video about his heads up display that the optics a wearable display like this take millions of dollars to develop, and are out of reach for hobbyists. So I’m not sure whether this project is really feasible.
