Convince your opponent to wear them or start a street fight with Oscar the Groutch as the ref.

Watched? 😂 I am tempted to just for the train wreck but I don’t want Amazon to take it as a vote.

We are completely cooked, brain rot is now fried with AI videos. When Ozzy passed away I saw so many fake AI videos and it seemed by the comments so many people believed them to be real. It's just going to get worse I think.

I’m starting to understand the Heaney’s paper on “Newell-Scrooge McDuck Divergence: Theory of Coin Piles vs Immersive investment”. 🤔 📑

For different reasons applies to display-less AI glasses too, since I don’t think a display is actually as important to AR as people think. Still visual feedback is a must for any useful products to compete with smartphones. More limited your input/output options still a limitation (👀 at AI Pin).

This is exactly why I’d agree AR glasses will not replace smartphones (one of a few reasons). Smartphones are so easy to make, they’re a commodity and AR glasses by definition of being worn on the face and controlling so much of the visual perception system will not be as easy for a long long time.

Because of the current limitations/tradeoffs? (thermals, battery life, size, field of view-cost ratio of waveguides)? 😂 yea, then I agree. It’s hard AF and those are a lot of trade offs but I do not see why it is impossible… someday.

I’m sure Meta can either solve the display/optical problems on their own. They have to ship something first though 😂 or partner with someone.

Snap Spectacles work outside. Thermals & power problem though (~30min). Magic Leap 2 works outside, req segmented dimming though.

Bigger problem outside isn’t the display/optics problems, but tracking. Wind throws off all tacking systems (to my knowledge) tall grass & trees mess things up quick.
