News & Reviews:   Optinvent ORA AR glasses Malaysia launch

While Google Glass may have been the biggest name in Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, it isn't the only one as the Optinvent ORA AR glasses finally reaches it's final production stage. The AR glasses offers a larger AR screen than the Google Glass and has the ability to be flipped down or up as you need it. Tech specs and features include a camera, ambient light sensor, noise-canceling microphone, 800 mAh battery, WiFi and Bluetooth, accelerometer, 9 axis motion sensor and Android 4.1.2. While the screen is definitely larger, the overall design is a bit larger than Google Glass but according to the developers, a more streamlined version is on it's way and should be finished in about a year. The Optinvent ORA AR Glasses will be going for $916 (RM2964) which is still better than the $1500 (RM4854) that Google Glass is currently going for. No exact Malaysia release date but it should be available after the aforementioned 1 year making it sometime in October 2014.
