Stanford researchers have developed 3D AR eyeglasses that look at normal at first, but they actually combine holographic imaging with artificial intelligence. More specifically, a pair of prototype augmented reality glasses that basically use holographic imaging to overlay full-color, 3D moving images on normal-looking lenses.
These look like an everyday pair of glasses, but what the wearer sees through the lenses is an immersive world overlaid with vibrant, full-color 3D computed imagery. Exterior-mounted cameras capture the world in real-time and then combine it with computed imagery, resulting in a blended image that is then projected to the user’s eye stereoscopically.

There is no other augmented reality system out there now with comparable compact form factor or that matches our 3D image quality. The user sees a digitized approximation of the real world with computed imagery overlaid. It’s sort of augmented virtual reality, not true augmented reality,” said Gun-Yeal Lee, a postdoctoral researcher in the Stanford Computational Imaging lab.
