I love that in this kind of product's advertisement, people are so highly capable of touch-typing. The reality is that most people need to glance multiple times at their keyboards while using it. If these glasses make that a pain, I doubt that people would keep using the product.

The point of AR is that you can indeed look at the real world too. Unless you render something in front of the keyboard.

Zero spec info. Eyeroll. But, probably the future of laptops. Short screen component makers.

For laptop / other display usage is the one (alleged) use-case I don't get. If it "augments the world around you as you roam it", I can get that. But the screen in front of you that you're staring at for hours? Whatever augmentation would be displayed by glasses could be done by a more-chic-than-we-have-nowadays software on that computer, rendering said "augmentations" right onto the display, no?

1080P resolution (per eye) for a virtual 100" display? I can't work on a 1080P laptop now without swapping and resizing windows constantly. It would be frustrating to have all that screen real estate and not be able to use it. I also wonder what "per eye" means. Are there wholly different pictures in each (yikes) or just enough to simulate 3D?
