	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.		In the center of the glasses is a tracking camera.

	castAR is an [[Augmented Reality]] head-mounted display developed by [[Technical Illusions]]. Similar to other [[AR Devices]], castAR projects 3D renderings onto physical surfaces. To create 3D imageries on top of physical objects, the glasses-like device uses 2 micro-projectors to cast stereoscopic images onto a retro-reflective surface. The images bounce from the retro-reflective surface back onto the user's eyes, creating 3D, holographic-like images floating on the surface. A built-in camera, along with sensors, tracks the movements and the positions of your head. Additionally, an AR/VR clip-on can be placed onto the glasses to create an immersive [[Virtual Reality]] experience. castAR's Kickstarter Campaign began on October 14, 2013 and raised 1,052,110 dollars out of its initial goal of 400,000 dollars.		castAR is an [[Augmented Reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Technical Illusions]].

	The AR/VR Clip-on allows the user to transform the glasses from a Augmented Reality centric device into a Virtual Reality centric one. When the clip-on is attached to the glasses, the light from the projects are bounced back into your eyes. The retro-reflective surface is not used. It turns the glasses into a head-mounted display similar to many other [[VR Devices]].
