I'm confused why there is no YouTube in the social media section on the site. Demo video is what I need the most to make a decision about buying a product
Neat but (still) pricey. Not sold on the 640x480 display; it requires work to focus you eye to such a short distance and due to macular degeneration that will be increasingly impossible as you age. In my 20s I could focus on things a couple of centimeters (~1") away with the naked eye, in my 50 it's about 15cm (5-6"). You can still perceive color, movement etc so a ring of LEDs would convey information well, tut tryi…
The documentation shows something like this where the projection is off axis from the actual mirror doing the projection.
Is there a demo video ?
I would hope they include some basic apparel to wear the device. should one wear it as a pirate's eye patch?
Looks like it has a clip to attach to the front of a pair of glasses. Obviously suboptimal, really needs to be integrated into some old-timey welding goggles for the steampunk vibe. At $349 it’s almost in the range where I’d buy it to play around with but I suspect it’d end up in a drawer like a bunch of other things that looked cool but I never got around to hacking on. Once the technology gets good enough where the…
So is the idea that this would work in conjunction with one's smartphone?

The other issue is that the projection display is a bit low-res for what I'd really like to see, but 1 pixel works out to ~0.5mm at 1m, so it might be ok. That might be precise enough for (for instance) identifying particular through-hole connections on a circuit board at a rework station. It's certainly adequate for identifying components on an engine.
Translation… we made some easy hardware, but software is hard and we’re not even sure what our device will be for, maybe this will be cool later?
