The Mad Gaze Glow Plus was an early mixed reality smart glasses product from Hong Kong-based Mad Gaze, featuring 6DoF SLAM tracking, hand gesture recognition, and voice commands -- making it one of the first consumer-priced devices with true AR overlay capabilities. Launched in 2020 with dual 1080p Micro-OLED displays and a 53-degree binocular FOV, it projected a 118-inch virtual screen. Now discontinued as Mad Gaze has shifted focus to enterprise solutions.
