Here’s what Pokémon Go looks like on a $2,750 augmented reality headset

The future is now and it’s amazing.

Yes, you like playing Pokémon Go (when Pokémon Go is working) on your phone.

But you say you really like the idea of strapping on a pair of Google Glass-like goggles and then running around Central Park looking for Vaporeon?

Well, then, great news. You’re in luck.

All you need is something called a pair of R-7 smartglasses, made by the Osterhout Design Group. They’ve figured out how to make your dreams come true:

It’s not a jetpack, but it’s ... something.

Osterhout says this was relatively easy for them to do, since their goggles are built on Android, and there’s an Android version of Pokémon Go.

The catch is that there aren’t a lot of R-7s out in the world. For one thing, each pair goes for $2,750.

Another issue is that even if you want to spend $2,750 on an R-7, you can’t, because Osterhout says it has experienced "a record number of R-7 orders", so it won’t be shipping new ones again until January 2017.

Maybe Pokémon Go will still be a super-hot game then.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.

Yes, I'll give $5/month
