    Opensource Rust driver for various AR glasses

  • I've recently bought an NReal Light on the promise that it has both stereo camera and IMU, which would be great for some of my upcoming projects.I've spent the better part of the last two days "looking" at the NReal SDK and firmware (to create an opensource driver for them in ), and I have to conclude:The Light does not transmit IMU information through USB, and there's no way to get it without modifying the firmware itself. Even then, I'm starting to get skeptical if there's even a working IMU on the PCB itself. It's been years and NReal never got around to add it. Of course the NReal Air does stream IMU info over the HID protocol, and there already exists an opensource driver, but at that point it's equivalent to the Rokid Air. They did add support for the magnetometer (for some reason that's beyond me), so there is some hope.
