Future AR smart glasses may also be in the works

Getting people to put on an AR headset is hard. I’ve found it a struggle to remember to pack smart glasses, and find room to carry them. Most of them don’t support my prescription, either.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s prediction of AR glasses being a few years after a VR/AR goggle-type headset would line up with what other companies are promising. The challenges with AR glasses are a lot greater than VR. No one’s figured out how wearing them all the time would work, or how you’d interact with virtual objects: hand tracking? A watch, or a ring? Voice? Neural inputs?
