Ask HN: Recommend display glasses for computing while walking
Is there anything out there at all?
I want something like no-strength glasses with high-definition display, monochrome is acceptable.
Preferably see through, so I can walk, but also read the text.
They don't need to have bulky cameras or other sensors.
I just want some glasses to display the terminal from the raspberry pi in my backpack, so I can walk around and program or write with a chorded keyboard.
- PaulHoule 5y agoSo you want something like a magic leap that actually works?
- dusted 5y agoHmm, yes, if it also didn't look like.. that.. and also allow me peripheral vision instead of blocking if off with plastic containing things I don't care about. Oh, and I don't care about AR at all :) just wannna old school compute while walking around.
- disabled 5y agoVuzix Blade (2021 version), maybe. I don’t have an AR headset but it is advertised as being usable while walking and exercising. See: http://files.vuzix.com/Content/pdfs/Vuzix-Blade-Upgraded-Smart-Glasses-d08.pdf http://files.vuzix.com/Content/pdfs/Vuzix-Blade-Upgraded-Sma... It runs Android OS and can be controlled from Windows/MacOS via a Vuzix Android app. I would rather use a Steam Deck for the connection rather than a Raspberry Pi. Also, see this very old post that’s relevant as it mentions Vuzix as a solution with hardware that is now 10+ years old but was used for walking : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1554493 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1554493
