    TLDR;

    The technology is simply not available to achieve these wonders in a slim, light glasses form factor right now. But progress is being made. Qualcomm announced its Snapdragon AR2 Gen 1 processor and devices using this technology could launch in 2024, if not sooner.

    Looking further down the road, Lumus is working on advanced, full-color AR glasses for targeting late 2024 or 2025. Meta AR glasses are in development, and Apple AR glasses are planned as well.

      That wan’t my take away. I think they are useful for certain niche use cases. The ones for navigation and cycling especially looked good for that use case. And if you want a virtual monitor to work on (I imagine doing this on an airplane for example), that case seems covered too.
