➀ EAH Jena's rEAHlize initiative provides up to €7,500 in funding through the StartUp@EAH project to support early-stage startups in developing prototypes and market-ready solutions;

➁ Three funded projects include Variflow (a medical safety device for cardiac surgery), Travi (a travel app fostering global connections), and ARletT (an AR tool for enterprise training using XR technology);

➂ The StartUpLab Jena serves as a collaborative hub offering technical expertise, networking, and infrastructure to accelerate innovation.

➀ The Apple Vision Pro has had an interesting trajectory since its launch, with some impressive moments but ultimately falling short of its promise of spatial computing.

➁ The device's comfort, use case, and app support were criticized, with many users experiencing fatigue and red marks on their faces after just an hour of use.

➂ Despite improvements over time, the high price point and lack of a strong ecosystem have hindered its adoption.

➀ The Apple Vision Pro 2 may launch sooner than expected, with reports suggesting it could be released within the year.

➁ The second-generation headset is expected to have components in mass production, indicating Apple's commitment to the project.

➂ Concerns remain about the device's cost and market appeal, especially in the face of economic challenges and competition from other AR devices.

➀ The Ray-Ban Meta glasses offer a sleek design resembling traditional eyewear.

➁ They come with advanced Meta AI features and hands-free controls for convenience.

➂ The glasses offer a unique blend of functionality and style, though with a premium price tag.

➀ Meta has unveiled its first pair of 'true' augmented reality glasses, named Orion, which is currently a prototype but may be available to consumers in the future.

➁ Orion's hardware includes glasses, a wristband for gesture control, and a wireless puck for computing, with the glasses being the centerpiece of the technology.

➂ The glasses use custom chips, magnesium frames, and microLED projectors, with the lenses made of silicon carbide (SiC) for better image quality.

➃ The high cost of SiC lenses and specialized manufacturing processes contribute to the glasses' $10,000 price tag.

➄ Meta is working on making the technology more affordable by exploring alternative materials and manufacturing processes.

➅ Privacy concerns and social dynamics are also raised as potential challenges for AR glasses.
