Turns out the #glasses #industry is overly #expensive https://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus.. I hear you can get your #prescription and get them made #online for next to no #money at all. As the #article mentions, it's #expensive on purpose and the people who are supposed to care concentrate on #fashion .
Screw putting in a #contact #lens into your #eye just to get a #hud https://hackaday.com/2022/05/22/smart-co.. #glasses are a way better option in my opinion.
I *really* want #opensource #ar and #vr #glasses https://hackaday.com/2021/08/14/3d-print.. I just really don't want to do the #assembly - it's a lot of effort and difficult to get right.
Whilst I agree with #st that #ar #glasses are for sure a future #computing #platform - it might still be too early: https://www.eetimes.eu/st-sees-ar-glasse.. #vr for example got #reinvented *several times* before #technology caught up. What I want to see is ST put an #opensource platform in the hands of #hackers - see what #innovation is created and then #commercialize it.
