For most of us Augmented Reality (often abbreviated to AR) conjures up visions of Pokemon Go (what a summer that was, eh?) and Google Glass, in experiencing virtual 'layers' augmenting real life. But having just tried a new pair of AR glasses featuring Lumus’ 2D Wave Guide technology – you can forget all of that.
Lumus specialises in developing AR optics that don’t make you look like a 'Glasshole' (cough, sorry). In fact the Lumus Z Lens, which is what I tested out, make you look more like Buddy Holly. Featuring a tiny projector built into the arm and ultra-thin lenses, the unobtrusive nature of the tech changes the way you see the world, offering 50 degrees of vision.
