GIVEAWAY AT BOTTOM!
IN A NUTSHELL: I am making a 'hologram' headset, on which you can play PC games (including steamVR games) and mobile VR games, with a smartphone.
Some older members may remember the GameGlass, a little project I worked on with the feedback and help from PMC members.
Well, you'll be pleased to hear that we're nearly there! I have CAD files ready, a platform to work on. I've overhauled everything, including the website, which takes a moment to load and the subreddit, where more discussion takes place. as well as the headset itself, which now works on Android, with the Google Cardboard VR platform, using your smartphone. This not only makes it far cheaper (the original goal being to create affordable AR) but it provides a lighter, motion tracking and higher resolution experience, plus stereo 3D images working too!
You better appreciate this gif, it took 26 hours to render.
Another render. On my youTube channel I have more demo vids to satisfy any curiosity.
=========================================================
Also, giveaway? I am doing a giveaway, to enter, do this feedback form.

I just wanted to say great job and thank you for an opportunity to own one of these.

I've signed up before but I got a new phone, actually a way better one.
Do I need to sign in again or is it not needed?

Don't worry - anything important will get asked again if you win.
Thanks, I just wanted to share what I created

Not sure if it was asked, but how many pairs you have made for the give away? Also does this support Steam VR and other vr games and would it see controller (xbone/ds4) connected through imputmapper?
1
It's just the one headset.
It does support SteamVR (maybe Rift too, if you use ReVive). I can't say if it supports controllers via inputmapper, as I don't have any to test.

In that case, will you be releasing updated pictures soon?
Yes, check the .gif I made on the first post, and expand the spoiler under that for more pics.

_benjimaestroJortenmiloI think he means this with camera:
Yes
That is no longer a part of the final design, as it no longer uses a Raspberry Pi to power it. If you need to use a camera, it would use your smartphone's camera.

_benjimaestroJortenmiloI guess the phone is seperate from the headset, so what resolution is the display that is projected on the glass?GameGlass has an estimated cost of under $30
Under $30! With camera! How?!?
Resolution is equal to whatever your phone is. 1080p really is the comfortable minimum for this - anything lower won't look good, but it will work.
As for the camera bit, whaddaya mean?SpookyRenMaybe post a video about how it works. Also, my offer still stands for a better website
Check my YouTube channel for demos of the v2 model (works basically the same). for now, I'm happy with the website, but I'll keep it in mind

I use VRIDGE and Riftcat with my cardboard (lets you stream your PC games to your cardboard and play oculous and rift games), so will be cool to play it with this!
1
Riftcat and Trinus is what I use with this for playing PC games. Riftcat also allows you to use PS MOVE controllers now, so motion control works.

It will project them onto the screen, plus it has the same lenses for focusing the images as in a VR headset, but they are positioned so they aren't in front of your eyes, blurring everything else up.
And yes, it's back

No, the immersion (imo) is much better.
Yes, I was also thinking about that, but that would come after I have a final design.
Currently, you can use the PS MOVE controllers for PC games but it's not 100% supported, and requires a bit of hacking and stuff. An Xbone/DS4/X360 or keyboard and mouse would work (a USB-OTG adapter is required for wired, low latency useage, these are dead cheap on amazon, and they are so damn useful)

If you need a better website then PM me or add me on skype(Ren3DM)

Would an iPhone 6S work?
1
Yes, but not as well as an Android phones, in that google Cardboard apps will work but you will not be able to play PC games on it.

i can't wait for this to be finished!!

Nice! I've been looking forward to this project for a while. Just wondering, what cpu do you use for them?
1
Depends on the smartphone used. For a decent experience, I'd recommend anything above a snapdragon 617/800 series CPU. This includes basically every mid-high end smartphone since 2014. For perspective, a Galaxy S5 uses a 801, an S6 uses an 810 and an S7 uses an 820.
Neither can I. I'm pretty pumped!

I think he's using either the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3.

It now uses a pre-existing smartphone, that the user would provide now.

Awesome. I was gonna post on the Reddit one week ago but I decided not to. Well, awesome that this project is still alive and well.
