As enhancements are made
to Raptyr and as sales volumes increase, the company expects consumer applications to become
available.
Meaning its going to cost an arm and a leg, like their current AR headset does.

At least they are consistently bringing out new headsets. There is not really too much action in this field.

I can guess these goggles will cost more, but I would like to at least toy with them.

Agree, great that guys move the field, small steps but consistent.
