Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta

But better than bigass glasses, since a helmet can at least be supported with something on your shoulders, have weight and pressure distributed better.

What do AR glasses look like in your imagination?
It’s pretty hard to tell in real life if someone is wearing a stylish frame or AR glasses. They are a bit thicker than normal glasses need to be, but not as thick as glasses that are just thick for no reason other than to look a certain way.

Is that on the market or just a dream?
Anyway, a transparent display is just as bad as a transparent terminal emulator window. Only good for looks.

A transparent display is necessary for glasses based AR. The parts where stuff is displayed obviously aren’t transparent, but when a pixel is off, the screen is transparent in that spot. There have been transparent displays for decades, and smart glasses for at least 5 years, but AR glasses are relatively new, yes. Smart glasses and AR glasses look relatively similar to regular glasses. AR glasses are a little more obvious when they are being actively used, as other people can see the section that isn’t transparent. But smart glasses don’t have the capability of advanced graphics and are more like a heads up display.

Yes, that’s the whole point, when you do some work, you generally want to have clearly readable text and symbols separate from the landscape in the background.
I mean, whatever. Anything can happen. Just feels like another dotcom bubble coming.
