Nop, but a pair of glasses would be fine.
Agreed - I never got a chance to try Google Glass but they at least looked lightweight. If there were an AR device like that then I wouldn't have nearly as much of a problem.
They're far from perfect, but I have the Nreal Air glasses and find them pretty dope. They have sony oled tech so they're surprisingly bright even in a lit room, and the pixel density is great. No screen door effect like VR headsets.
They're the 1st iteration, not very user-friendly for non-techies and absolutely need a lot of work, but the concept is very much there. I mostly use them to play Steam deck games on a "big screen" now, but the accompanying Android app attempts a phone + app-like design like the Vision.
Looks interesting! Though unfortunately I don't have any devices that are compatible with it (Pixel phone is out, Intel Mac is a no, and no general desktop/windows/Linux support), but I'll certainly keep my eye out to see if they expand, or if similar products launch!
Looks cool, yeah, we'll see how it develops
I'm near sighted and wearing glasses all the time. If AR glases are light, good looking and about as powerful as the Apple XR googles, sure i'll wear them if i can afford to buy them.
