Augmented reality screens are a feature, not a product – Computerworld

Powered by the Qualcomm XR2+ Gen 2 chip, the Visor is designed primarily for productivity. It allows users to work with multiple virtual screens in both passthrough and fully virtual modes. That said, recent demos have shown issues with readability, heat management, and passthrough quality. The product gives users five HD screens on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Starting at $1,050 for outright purchase, with a subscription model also available, the Immersed Visor is set to begin shipping limited “Founder’s Edition” units next month, with wider availability in April 2025. While promising, potential buyers should approach with caution, given the device’s ongoing development and the challenges observed in recent demonstrations.

The home run the industry hasn’t hit yet

Some of the AR glasses mentioned above support hand gestures via sensors in the glasses, and most anchor the desktop screens fully in place.
