Comment on Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought
rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 10 months agoThat may be a more complex device, but I’d prefer something like a light Mandalorian helmet, with normal glass before your eyes (BTW, I think I’ve read about new kinds of glass which change degree of translucency depending on ionization or something) and picture being projected on it or with some display inside. I’m fine if that’d be 16x times fewer pixels.
Looking at the outside world via a computer display is just instinctively awful.

Yes it’s called electrochromic glass, although it’s actually more kind of glass laminate. But yeah it can be engineered in such a way as to change color depending on solar output or on the presents or absence of an electrical impulse. It’s been around for about 20 years but it’s only been practical for about 10.
People have even already integrated it with transparent displays so all of the technology is already there. It just needs commercializing.
Polestar apparently have a car with electrochromic glass in its windows so you can turn those into a computer display.
