The site seems blocked here (China) but if I read the comments, how is it AR? What more does it do than make a picture when you tap your temple? Is there any augmenting of reality going on, because then $130 would be 'free'.
- rawnlq 10y agoSnapchat has a lot of cool tech for video augmentation (Lenses: https://support.snapchat.com/en-US/a/lenses1 https://support.snapchat.com/en-US/a/lenses1). If they simply live stream the video from the glasses to the phone and do the same augmentation, I think that counts as AR.

- tluyben2 10y agoIt counts as AR but not AR glasses which makes this product not very interesting... You don't need the glasses as you still need to look at your phone which would give me kind of a neck ache trying to look at my phone to see what my glasses are seeing?
- mgiannopoulos 10y agoIndeed , there is no screen like Glass had. This is just a camera strapped on a frame.
- josephpmay 10y agoI guess I wasn't very clear with my comment. These glasses aren't in any way AR, but if people get used to wearing Snap electronics on their face, it will be natural for them to move into the AR market
