The ANTVR MIX is a tethered AR headset made by ANTVR, a manufacturer based in Beijing, China. Contrary to most other augmented reality glasses on the market, the MIX requires a constant cable connection to a PC. These AR glasses are small and lightweight (130g) while providing a relatively large FOV of 96° thanks to ANTVR's proprietary, dual-channel mixed optics. It ships with 3DoF controllers but 6DoF may be available in the future. Content-wise, the MIX is compatible with SteamVR and its large variety of VR applications. This means that users can play VR games (ones that have a dark background) in AR.
