What is OpenAR?
OpenAR is an open access project hailing from the University of Eastern Finland. The aim of the project is to build cheap, hobbyist friendly augmented reality glasses, and then share everything about them to everyone! Current iterations include: OpenAR 2.0 and OpenAR 1.0. Stay tuned for future versions.
Who is it for?
Tinkerers, electronic hobbyists, schools, companies interested in AR, augmented reality enthusiasts… the list goes on. Our latest iteration rocks the most hobbyist friendly parts imaginable. If you have ever done electronic soldering, you should be able to build our AR-glasses from start to finish.
How much does it cost?
This is the best part. The price of the OpenAR -glasses can be as low as 30€! The total price varies between 30 – 50€ mainly due to the electronic parts.
Where can I find more information about building the OpenAR -glasses?
Right here! Below are links to view the two iterations (more to come!) of the current OpenAR projects. We highly recommend focusing on OpenAR 2.0 if you are interested in building them yourself. It is our latest version and as hobbyist friendly as possible.
