CastAR is an [[Augmented Reality]] head-mounted display developed by [[Technical Illusions]]. Similar to other [[AR Devices]], castAR projects 3D renderings onto physical surfaces. To create 3D imageries on top of physical objects, the glasses-like device uses 2 micro-projectors to cast stereoscopic images onto a retro-reflective surface. The images bounce from the retro-reflective surface back onto the user's eyes, creating 3D, holographic-like images floating on the surface. A built-in camera, along with sensors, tracks the movements and the positions of your head. Additionally, an AR/VR clip-on can be placed onto the glasses to create an immersive [[Virtual Reality]] experience. CastAR's Kickstarter Campaign began on October 14, 2013 and raised 1,052,110 dollars out of its initial goal of 400,000 dollars. | CastAR is an [[Augmented Reality]] head-mounted display developed by [[Technical Illusions]].

CastAR is an Augmented Reality head-mounted display developed by Technical Illusions. Similar to other AR Devices, castAR projects 3D renderings onto physical surfaces. To create 3D imageries on top of physical objects, the glasses-like device uses 2 micro-projectors to cast stereoscopic images onto a retro-reflective surface. The images bounce from the retro-reflective surface back onto the user's eyes, creating 3D, holographic-like images floating on the surface. A built-in camera, along with sensors, tracks the movements and the positions of your head. Additionally, an AR/VR clip-on can be placed onto the glasses to create an immersive Virtual Reality experience. CastAR's Kickstarter Campaign began on October 14, 2013 and raised 1,052,110 dollars out of its initial goal of 400,000 dollars.
