Fair point ๐ maybe it'll help adoption if it's not radically different than what people are comfortable with? Not sure.
Just looked it up and these cost $600. +$100 for sun clips. +$150 for prescription lenses.
At that price point, these likely won't gain mainstream adoption.
Sure, assuming the glasses' UI would let you control audio being piped to the earbuds. But I think Google Glass had bone conducting speakers that weren't heavy or power hungry. Maybe there's a good reason they left speakers off the G1 that I'm not considering.
Glasses like these with an inconspicuous form factor and simple yet useful features could do for smart glasses what the Pebble watch did for smartwatches.
If they added speakers to let people hear music or make phone calls via the glasses, it'd be an even more compelling device, especially with an intuitive UI.

Monochrome (green) head mounted display that looks like a regular pair of glasses. Mainly useful as a HUD. Has a microphone but no speakers. Seems to have basic head tracking. Marketing claims a day and a half of battery life with light use.

I wore XReal glasses while grocery shopping and had my shopping list floating in my peripheral vision (using Samsung Dex note taking app). It was an amazing experience! And I didn't forget the milk ๐ (pic is just for laughs, not representative of experience)
I love the XReal Air 1 glasses, but the arms are prone to cracking. Put binder clips on the hinge to reinforce them.

Sure, but does the touchpad have to be below the keys? It makes sense for a laptop since it matches the dimensions of the screen when folded closed. No screen means it can be rethought.
