Innovator Crafts DIY AR Glasses Using Raspberry Pi Zero

Miroslav Kotalík's homemade AR glasses demonstrate the potential of maker ingenuity with a fully self-contained design.

  • The AR glasses, named 'Zero,' are powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero and feature custom-made resin-cast lenses.
  • Kotalík's project supports video playback, Bluetooth audio, and AR interactions with a low-latency 60 FPS display.
  • The glasses' design includes 3D-printed frames and lenses, showcasing a build-it-from-scratch ethos.
  • Future iterations aim to integrate a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 for enhanced capabilities like 3D rendering and GPS.
  • The project stands as an example of accessible AR technology, especially as major tech companies scale back their AR ventures.
