- Ajedi32 5y agoIt's getting closer. The display component is obviously the hardest part hardware-wise, but the battery, mic, camera, speaker, and compute components are all there now, and in a form factor that I actually could see myself wearing all day if the benefits were sufficiently compelling. Also gives some insight into what future early consumer-targeted AR devices might look like. Up until now I've been picturing something like a slimmer version of Hololens; highly capable but a bit bulky, with a focus on slimming things down in future revisions. Now that I think about it though, a more successful consumer-oriented approach might be from the opposite direction; comfort and aesthetics at the expense of capability in the short term, with a focus on improving capability in future revisions. Something like these glasses, with a simple low-res monochromatic display that only turns on when needed. Touch to wake and display contextual information relevant to whatever you're currently looking at. All heavy processing done on your phone, with an extreme focus on maintaining all-day battery life on the glasses themselves. I think something like that could succeed, given sufficiently compelling software.
