This looks really good but I would like to see some real use video and reviews.

It's like a combination of google glasses and meta ray-ban. Maybe not a replacement for Meta Quest / Vision Pro / xReal but perfect form factor for simple HUD for navigation, AI text/voice translation etc.

The only think I wish it had:

- magnetically connect to stem and via usb-c to laptop / smartphone so that camera could be used as WebCam

- IMU sensor that can stream data via usb-c

- having ToF depth camera

- better looking glass Frame such as those from zenni [0] and you could have also magnetic clip on for turn into sunglasses

But this is great that is open source and could be even a better alternative for Humane AI Pin.

edit: on VentureBeat article [1] it seems it has 'spatial camera' and 6DoF IMU - I think they should clarify and update their main page and specs page since they also don't show that it has microphone

IMO, it sounds like total vaporware to me. Like, maybe this is their concept, which they hope to deliver in five to ten years.

I'm not going to believe one word about this product until I see it in the real world hands of multiple users.

I thought the whole "stick a transparent oled screen on the outside of glasses" was an idea that was proven not to work. Since that seems to be the display technology, I too am skeptical.

I couldn't find the specs. But tbh, xreal air look better technically. One upside of these however, is that they are open source, although they seem to be lacking motion tracking features.

Aonther submit posted, but for once again I support this thing.
