The company claims to have combined their Digital Lightfield technology with “environment mapping, precision tracking, and soundfield audio to produce amazing experiences that feel natural”. Digital Lightfield technology allows the user’s brain to naturally process objects as we do in the real world, which makes its usage over long periods more comfortable according to the company. The processing of the AR goggles comes from a small external PC called as the Lightpack which is round in shape and can be hooked on to your pocket or belt strap. Force control and haptic feedback are managed by a handheld controller which also supports six degrees of freedom.
