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

  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.

      What, why would you be working on your glasses? That’s like trying to do work on a cellphone. The glasses are the lightweight handy tool, the powerhouse is the headset at home. Or the headset at work. And as handy as AR and VR will be, not every job will use them.

        Because it’s work compared to not wearing them. Something overloading you and not even getting any work done. But OK, everyone is different.
