Oh dear, this looks even worse than imagined, with that massive tethered wire at the back.

Maybe the next version would be much better, cheaper and wireless. But not now.

EDIT: Come on admit it. You would not seriously buy this first version until it looks less clunky and more natural. Eventually it will look as natural as glasses.

Don't fall for Apple's mixed reality distortion field again, please.

Doesn’t look very comfortable to wear for people that use glasses (50% of the population)

I would expect that glasses won't be necessary for most nearsighted users and farsighted users would probably have some kind of internal diopter adjustment.

If masses don’t accept this, AR VR might be set back by 5-10 more years. Just getting people to try modern XR out is hard enough, and retention is just as hard

I can see why the Jony Ive camp kept pushing for a thinner form factor.

Given the manufacturing rumors, I doubt I can get one without paying a scalper
