This seems like a tech that would be hard to get right? There are a lot of trade-offs involving cost, weight, resolution, processing, battery life, etc.

For my part, I would probably use AR features rather sparingly to maintain my sanity, but they could be very useful in certain narrow applications. Whether these would be sufficient to justify the price tag is uncertain. I also tend to be rough on glasses, so that would be a worry.

I'd prefer a Mandalorian helmet with a removable physical display inside. OK, walking in such a helmet is a bit weird. But better than bigass glasses, since a helmet can at least be supported with something on your shoulders, have weight and pressure distributed better.

add those to a long line of things no one asked for or will buy, like tablets, ipods, and the metaverse.

They would have been done by now but they're still figuring how to throttle the batteries from afar so folk'll have to buy new and improved ultra next-level glasses after their current pair "dies".
