The press release says "unmistakably a pair of glasses". The fact that you're complaining about the aesthetics and not wether or not they're glasses is a testament to the generational leap they've made here. Apple's VR goggles are glasses with "rendered" external pass through. These actually fit the traditional definition of glasses. And yeah like in the future, these will shrink in size. Probably by half in five years. Remember in 2018 when we were wondering if we'd ever have the compute available to do "inside out tracking"? Now it's expected as a minimum requirement. How far we've come.

> The press release says "unmistakably a pair of glasses". They look like what army personnel used to call “birth control glasses”. Only extra thick for added protection.

  If you wear these you won't need to worry about birth control.

    That's the joke. That's why the Army calls them birth-control glasses.
