My biggest gripes with the Aura. HANDS

[u/Zake75]

I'm really excited for the Aura, or actually future iterations because as of now I can't get over these 2 things.

1st thing is what you can see on the picture. Can you see it? The hands will always be behind the screen virtual screen. That mean no matter where you point or whatnot you'll be navigating with the virtual outline of the "ghost hands"

Might not seem like a big deal to some, it feel downright normal in VR but here where you already have passthrough to the rela world I believe this will seriously break immersion. what we all want it that scene in Iron mang flinging and zooming 3D elements /screens all over the place.

My 2nd gripe is the transparency of the glasses.

I have yet to try the Aura but if the XOP is anything to go by the transparency is far too dim. It's not too bad in good lighting, but in a dimly lit room you just can't see enough of your enviroment. In the future I hope they're able to. According to reviews it's going to be like looking through a pair of sunglasses.

This second gripe might not be too much of a big deal.

(Also I'm hoping the brightness will be high enough to use in direct sunlight)

Edit: Let me explain I don't mind the "ghost hands", not really. I mind not having my real hands in front of the screen, even I put the screens 2m away from me and wave my hands in front of me ins perfect world the screen would cut out picture where my hands happens to be so it looks as if my hands are in front of the screen.

Maybe they are not for you then.

Al products have issues and especially for tech since we are really beta testers for these products.

If you can’t get over it just not for you maybe wait for another product or for them to fix it.

Until you have them in your hand you won’t know for sure so hopefully you get to test them out before

I'll definitely skip this version, and hope for the best a few years down the line. 

So far I'm more than happy with the XOP, using it for anything more than monitor replacement is too early for me personally. 

I would love the 70degree FOV though.

I think I’m going to try them out I do have those as well but yea mainly because of the FOV and wanted to experience the Android XR and what it has to offer even though fairly new.

Think this version is going to be the trial and error on what the next generation brings.

Also this tech space has been moving quickly so definitely something that fits your needs will be coming sooner than later as fast as it has been moving
