What's the weight of it?
Can I choose different shape of it? For example, rectangular one?

#54I've looked around their website and the links people have commented here, but I've yet to see a video or image of the device actually working. I know it's hard to demo AR devices, but a simple video of a phone camera pointing through the device to show that there is actually content displaying would add much more credibility. Especially for $350 I need to see some sort of product demonstration.
The carousel with the play button works if you use the keyboard. It gives you an idea of how it works.

#57As someone with only 1 eye, this is quite suited to me! I am actually sad that the previous crop of "low cost, slim, not earth shattering" AR glasses all died out. A camera built into one stem and some simple text displayed for one eye would suffice for a ton of use cases. A killer app for me would be floating name tags above people's heads, but I imagine that would require better HW than what is available here. I'd…
Fun; I would just want to plug it to various device though MQTT and do trippy display.

#58I wonder why they chose the Nordic MCU.

#59> For normal anticipated use, Monocle's battery will last for approximately 2 hours and can be recharged in its case up to 6 times. So only 12 hours of total use? Hoping it's a typo or not what it sounds like.
Someone else answered, but here are some more details. Case has a 450mA battery in it, and a USB Type-C jack to recharge it.

As a father of a kid with 1,5 eye -- my daughter's left eye stopped developing at young age so we missed the window of opportunity to have it corrected on time, so one eye does most of the heavy lifting for her, and the other eye can only see a blur -- your comment made me think of possible use cases for the monocle for her. Maybe notifications using colors and shapes that could be perceived by the underdeveloped eye. I believe the signals from the monocle would not interfere in any way with the good eye, so from a brain's perspective, both things could coexist independently. And, as you suggested, it could well be a "clip-on" addition to the frame itself. That would be nice.
