The Glasses has two high-res micro projectors on top of its lenses. The projectors cast stereoscopic images onto a retro-reflective surface. Each projector refreshes at 120 Hz with very high fill factor. This means that the users will not experience any "screen door" effect. The glasses fit over most prescription glasses.

In the center of the glasses is a tracking camera. The camera is able to track at 120 Hz with low latency. The camera along with the [[Gyroscope]] and [[Magnetometer]] within the glasses enable the user to have 6 degrees of freedom.
