Phone and gadget review editor Philip Byrne tried out the RayNeo

Byrne emphasized the technical challenges of these new glasses, which include: their lack of ability to provide an immersive experience, the 3D videos lacked depth and even appeared flat, in addition to the lack of clarity in explaining the few features available in the glasses.

Byrne expressed hope for future developments in the field, pointing to exciting products like the Ray Ban Meta smart glasses and the new Apple Vision Pro as indicators that technological innovations may soon transform the AR experience.

Philip Byrne, a US consumer phone and electronics editor, tried out the augmented reality glasses.RayNeo X2 Lite AR” During a special meeting in Las Vegas within the framework of the 2024 CES exhibition. But Byrne expressed his discomfort with this new product, saying that his experience was full of frustration, which he had never encountered before with any other product.

Byrne explained the reasons for his discomfort with RayNeo glasses, saying: “The glasses have a limited field of vision, and I am looking at a virtual assistant called Missy, who is a little girl in a school uniform who speaks using artificial intelligence. Since I cannot see her clearly, I find myself moving “My head is constantly up and down until I can fit it into the frame.”

He added: “What made the situation more complicated was RayNeo’s representatives insisting that I ask Messi to dance, which increased my feeling of distress about this experience.”

Regarding this experience, Byrne said: “I did not have specific expectations before trying the RayNeo X2 Lite AR glasses, but I certainly did not expect the experience to be this frustrating.” Byrne believes that RayNeo glasses are a highly misleading, and potentially offensive, idea about how to use augmented reality glasses effectively. He points out that the glasses themselves were not ready for practical, everyday use, and that the AI ​​chatbot needed rethinking.

Byrne also highlighted the challenges with the display technology in the glasses, noting that the RayNeo The glasses contain a small LED screen and advanced display technology that transmits the image from the glass to the eye. However, their coverage of the field of view does not exceed 30 degrees, which greatly reduces the immersive potential of augmented reality.

He explained that a truly immersive experience needs to be close to 120 degrees to feel immersive, and that this limitation diminishes the user experience and makes it merely a peek through a “hole” into the virtual content, rather than full immersion in it. “It’s a bad experience – incomplete,” he said.

Byrne confirmed that the glasses, which are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 processor also used in Ray Ban Meta smart glasses, did not meet his expectations, especially with regard to 3D display. He noticed that the 3D images and videos that were presented lacked depth and appeared flat, diminishing the augmented reality experience.

Additionally, Byrne expresses frustration with the company’s inability to effectively explain how the few features available in the RayNeo X2 Lite work. Among those features: a mapping feature that can give you directions, but the RayNeo team was unable to explain how it works.

The company claimed that the glasses would be able to provide navigation directions inside the huge CES conference hall, but those promises were not fulfilled during the experiment. Byrne pointed out the lack of explanations about how this technology works.

It’s worth noting that at the end of the experiment, when the RayNeo team asked Byrne for his opinion on the RayNeo X2 Lite, he was too embarrassed by the experience to confront them about the weird chatbot. But he stressed his enthusiasm for the future of augmented reality technology, despite the challenges it faced.

Byrne expressed hope for future developments in the field, pointing to exciting products like the Ray Ban Meta smart glasses and the new Apple Vision Pro as indicators that technological innovations may soon transform the AR experience, though current hurdles may be greater than Byrne anticipated. in the beginning.

A NASA team at Johnson Space Center has finally succeeded in opening a canister containing dust from the 4.6 billion-year-old asteroid Bennu, which was collected by the OSIRIS-REx mission.

The team used specially designed tools to open the case without contaminating the samples with Earth’s air, providing valuable information about the formation of the early solar system.

After the success of the Bennu mission, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft headed towards the asteroid Apophis, which is believed to have the potential to collide with Earth, but it has now been confirmed that there is no danger from it.

In an important development in the field of space exploration, scientists from NASA at the Johnson Space Center in Houston were able to accomplish the task of opening a can containing dust from the asteroid Bennu, which dates back 4.6 billion years. This enclosure is a key part of the OSIRIS-REx mission, and has been a major challenge for the science team since its return to Earth four months ago.

The goal of NASA’s launch of the Osiris-Rex spacecraft was to collect samples from the asteroid Bennu, which is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid due to its small probability of colliding with Earth. The main goal of this mission was to gain a deeper understanding of the formation of the solar system in its early stages.

Facing challenges and finding solutions

When the sampling capsule landed in the Utah desert in September 2023, scientists were able to successfully extract most of the rock samples. However, there was additional material remaining inside the sampler head that was not accessed due to two mechanical obstacles. The team at Johnson Space Center worked diligently, using special tools made of non-magnetic stainless steel to ensure that the samples were not contaminated with Earth’s air. After continuous efforts, the team finally succeeded in opening the can and extracting the samples.

Samples recovered from the asteroid Bennu, estimated at about 9 ounces, are among the oldest known materials in our solar system. Researchers, including Ashley King from the Natural History Museum in London, believe that these samples hold invaluable information about how the solar system was formed, in addition to providing clues about how environments capable of supporting life appeared on planets like Earth.

Expansion of space exploration

After its successful mission with the asteroid Bennu, the billion-dollar Osiris-Rex spacecraft is heading toward its next target: the asteroid Apophis. Despite previous fears that Apophis might collide with Earth, current forecasts indicate that it will pass by Earth in 2029 without any danger.

The moment the box was successfully opened marked a significant turning point for the NASA Johnson Space Center team. The scientific community is living in a state of anticipation and excitement to analyze these ancient materials that may reveal the secrets of the formation of our solar system and how planets evolved to become habitable. This achievement reflects NASA’s continued leadership in space exploration, paving the way for more space missions and discoveries in the future.
