You are right that it has always been "glasses" in a rough sense of the word- at least when I read the actual details, even though their simulated PR videos often showed it without glasses and way more vivid and with larger FOVs than it could have been in real-life. But the lightweight ultra thin glasses they promised and the tech they said would be inside them is not what they are actually delivering. But technically they are both "glasses".
- AndrewKemendo 9y agoI don't know what to say other than point out that until the ML One "reveal," ML has never officially promised or revealed anything publicly to anyone about the tech that would eventually reach consumers. Nothing in interviews, talks etc... have they said anything about what they would deliver, on what timeline or in what form factor. Not in the wired interview the Information article, anywhere. Their patents have a wide range of designs and cover a lot of territory, which means basically nothing aside from optionality. The "promises" about a ML product come from many "technical" people speculating based on no first hand knowledge. It's really astonishing and possibly really impressive depending on the outcome, how ML has really let the technoverse drive the narrative about them as a company and their product. It's like fan-fiction almost.
