Playing Hockey With a Robot via AR Glasses
stspanho · x · 2026-07-19
Using AR glasses to control a Vector robot for air hockey: the gameplay features a "virtual puck + real goalie" setup. The author emphasizes this isn't just basic AR remote control, but an interactive demo closer to a real-world use case. The project is open-source, so you can run it yourself if you have a Vector. The author also mentions using CLAD for a fallback path and expresses excitement over the new Spectacles/NDK, believing it could allow VectAR to run entirely on the glasses without needing a Mac-side server.
