It has about a 35 degree diagonal field of view.[1]
History[edit]
- During the Consumer Electronic Show in 2011, Vuzix announced their transparent AR display prototype, codenamed Raptyr. It was intended to be the first product of its kind.[2] It was never officially released under the Raptyr name, instead being sold as the STAR 1200.[3] The prototype received a CES Innovation Award in 2011.[4]
- The STAR 1200 was the first mass-produced augmented reality system with a transparent display. It was intended to mimic glasses, and was able to fit over a user's own eyewear in lieu of offering prescription lenses. The display was connected to a user's computer via a VGA or DVI cable. [5]
