Why Tech community is so oblivious to optics technology of smart glasses?
I get repeatedly surprised how little most techies know about optical tech behind smart glasses. It's almost like a blind spot.
That's basically what's holding us behind. But people are still not aware of waveguide tech vs google glasses.
Then there are also people who think Snap Spectacles or FB/Rayban glasses are "AR"?!?!

It is like early stages of the mobile cameras. Specs are not enough to match expectations. But core concept is solid.
- baybal2 5y agoWaveguides make a very poor quality image by design. The solution been know since WW2, but trendy boys are still ogling over waveguides just because they sound cool, and score more investor money.
- mclightning 5y agoHow many different wave guide glasses have you tried? What is the alternative then?
