Microsoft Research shows off prototype AR technology

Microsoft Research is making strides in its augmented reality technology, with the company showing off new prototype AR glasses.

The new AR glasses currently feature an 80-degree field of view, and will correct for the wearer's astigmatism, which allow virtual objects to be viewed through AR glasses, all without additional corrective lenses.

The team wrote in a research paper on the prototype: "In future work, we plan to integrate all these capabilities into a single hardware device while expanding the exit pupil to create a practical stereo display".
