      for a single user, unless used with polarizing shutter glasses, then subtract 50% brightness.

      it’s an interesting use of the tech but having worked with both this, projection based AR (think early castAR/tilt5) and vr for the last decade, I gotta say, it’s use cases are slim compared to the results you’d get with other stuff. Apparently oil companies LOVED it, it was very popular in geological survey and similar industries.
