DVLA declares J14 HAD on BU14 SHT and SL14 AGS

Ex-Valve engineers raise begging bowl for 3D holographic-like goggles

A few points

Hi,

"The author seems to gloss over the fundamental incompatibility between Virtual Reality (Oculus Rift) and Augmented Reality (this device)."

Actually they have a clip on device w/ additional optics that let the CastAR do AR and VR (The VR addon was a secret until the kickstarter launch.)

I've also recieved assurances from glasses-sporting staff members that it is compatable with glasses.

You couldn't put your glasses lenses in the CastAR frames though since they're active lenses.

I'm super-excited about the project and like the 1st poster said with Jeri involved it's sure to be fun :)
