In this episode, Robert and Haley geek out over an amazing DIY project—creating a pair of augmented reality (AR) glasses using a Raspberry Pi Zero! Inspired by Redditor mi_kotalik's design, this episode covers the challenges and creativity that went into “Zero,” a pair of home-built AR glasses with features like video playback, Bluetooth audio, and even teleprompter capabilities.
We’ll dig into:
- DIY Optical Solutions: From PETG to resin-cast lenses and the struggles of crafting custom optics.
- Technical Challenges: Optimizing SPI displays to 60 FPS and pushing the Pi Zero's capabilities.
- Next-Level Upgrades: What mi_kotalik envisions for V2, including potential upgrades with the Compute Module 4 for GPS and 3D rendering.
If you’re interested in creating wearable tech or just love a good DIY, Robert and Haley break down this project’s highs, lows, and everything in between, offering insights for anyone wanting to get into AR at home!
