Wi-R looks really cool. As invasive BCI fan worried about different malware, I think this technology will made it safer.
Here's what I mean: we cannot physically turn off something implanted in our body (I don't want to have a switch on my head), so imagine catching screenlocker for your eye! So, i think, BCI could play role of wireless headphone, connected to external device - like smartwatch. But if we talk about bluetooth or other classic wireless technologies, it might be not so easy to disconnect infected computing device - malware can take control of it. And Wi-R allows disconnect it just by taking smartwatch from your hand, without need to turn it off entirely!

Please make a video on what Mediatek and Meta are making in AR glasses? That sounds interesting.

[Alice]

I love your channel dude. You're the Jake Paul of smart glasses.

[ErikGoff]

Thanx for the update ! and wow 10 km :)

[mr.]

great video. Everytime I see these things I just think about how beneficial it would be for one of these companies to just commit to making a ballcap to better stash the hardware and batteries. The weight would be much easier to disperse and would allow for larger batterypacks.

[arthurdurham]

I really just want 5 things from smart sunglasses:

1. Wireless
2. Navigation features
3. Plays music and videos
4. Takes pictures and videos
5. Somewhat decent looking

I feel like these companies are so focused in doing so much that it ends up being worse. They either pack so much in that it has to be sold as enterprise just for cost or it needs to be tethered.

But if a company can pull that off those aspects well at a reasonable price it will do well in the consumer market. But we're at the over sell stage of the technology to garner interest.

Just giving your glasses you'd wear anyways basic entertainment or assistance functionality imo is key. The INMO Air technically is this but it's pretty terrible in implementation.

It feels like we're at the early stages of this tech. We're working on all the different types of uses as solo devices. And eventually when the tech is worked down to a smaller size that'll work together we'll get the all-in-one like we have now with mobile phones.

Currently we got visual displays, fitness trackers, live translation (and/or other accessibility), and other AR uses. And probably more I can't think of ATM. But eventually it'll all condense into one pair of glasses or visor.

Thanks for all your informative videos. Would you please give me some advice?
I would like to get some smart glasses for playing highly demanding video games (cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, etc.) on my high end gaming laptop.
Do you have some (three would be ideal) recommendations? Thanks alot, Henry (Berlin, Germany)

[jackrandom]

I want a pair of smart glasses, which have a game on them which duplicates an a fantasy world/quest so I can go to the park and fight orcs. Similar to how Pokemon Go projected the digital world over the real world the. Rhe glasses would read the landscape and insert things as adjusted. Give us a blue tooth ring to monitor hand movements, and you would get people outside again. Imagine going to the park, downloading a Star Wars like Call of Duty game, and being able to go against other people Lazer tag fashion (complete with graphic Lazer blasts going to your target) as you run around. It would be awesome.

Can you recommend glasses that are optimized for reading? I do public speaking but am visually impared so having my speech in my eye is better that glancing at a tablet or trying to memorize everything.

[kevgh]

Im planning my gaming setup to include mixed reality and augmented reality.
Should i leave a full white wall in my room available for projections 😃
I know holograms loves to come out of walls or stick to them
Therefore i think it makes sense right?

[iwayanjuliantapradnyana]

Hey this is such a great video! I would like to know your opinion, which one is the best AR glasses for work? I travel a lot, but i don't want to always open my laptop for work when I travel. I searching for a glasses that had a keyboard and mouse like function, maybe you have a recommendation for me?

[astoriaproductions]

Good night, Cayden. How are you?
I am a Latin YouTuber and I am really passionate about the AR industry.
I was wondering if I could use some of your footage in my new video on this theme, as there are no such events in my country and certainly not near my city.
Thank you so much for reading this comment!

[HappyHands.]

Will all of these do transcription with an app?

[brianplaysvr]

Will, there be smart glasses/AR with out wifi

[Yodel]

Are the Vuzix Ultralite glasses available as binocular displays or only monocular? Paul mentions clearly shows and mentions two displays in his interview with TechStation. Just curious.

[luxmak]

I am a big fan of your channel. I need your help. I'm sick and can't move my fingers and hands very well. my voice is weak and unclear. I'm looking for ar glasses that I can wear all day. I would like to connect the glasses to my Android smartphone and use the apps. I just want to control everything with my eyes because they work best. can you recommend glasses for my purposes? thanks in advance. Lukas

[carraracom]

Hi. Have you seen any kind of glasses that can be used with prescription lenses and are able to record voice and video for 30min, at least? Me and my workmates are suffering a lot with management problems and work harrashment in a way that we are building the case for collective cause. Could you point us some models?

[saybthetruth]

Wow so grateful to have found your channel! I am a music producer using mac, I would love to use my music production software (logic pro) in an AR setting, what AR glasses that are on the market rn would you recommend? Or would you recommend waiting? Thanks for your content! Subscribed & liked 🙏
