I know a Google exec that was put on the Google Glass project early on, when the scope was for it to be a full AR/VR device (not like the very scaled-back thing Google Glass rolled-out as). Even he knew many years ago that it would be impossible within the foreseeable future with the state of available tech or even near future available tech to fit that experience into the size of a pair of sunglasses. That person is now involved with Google's quantum computing efforts which seems like a more solvable problem than fitting a full AR/VR experience into a something close to a standard size pair of sunglasses.
I've got a Quest headset and the thing causes a lot of pressure on my sinuses, making it unwearable for more than about 15 minutes at a time. There are no AR/VR headsets that I'd be willing to strap on to my face for more than about 10 or 15 minutes.
- crooked-v 2y agoFor the Quest, take a look at BOBOVR headstraps (https://www.bobovr.com https://www.bobovr.com). They replace the "clamp to your face" style that companies keep idiotically insisting on with a much more comfortable welding mask/hard hat style arrangement where the weight sits around the crown of your head.
