The AR glasses themselves aren't their own design, according to this article in their press section. https://www.wired.com/story/sightful-spacetop-g1-augmented-r...

They are made by a company called real https://www.xreal.com/ . Not familiar with them but the tech seems to be impressive.

Is it a ChromiumOS fork or something? Seems to only mention web applications and the only visible screens are a browser window.

Looks like the operating system is only for managing browser windows. There are no native apps of any kind. Plenty of great browser apps exist but that's worse than a chromebook in terms of usability.

I would rather someone focuses on AR glasses that work really well and can work with my computer of choice.

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?

Given how useful having a screen is and how little space it takes up, it seems much better to just buy a normal laptop and AR glasses separately.

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 claimed "Up to 8 hours of battery for a full day of productivity." makes this a lot more useful for real work on the go verses the "up to two hours of general use, 2.5 hours of video playback" of the Vision Pro.

This might be early AR product but from my friends who use VisionPro , I feel eventually we all will be using something like this often.

Anyone who has spent enough time in AR to compare, how's the headache/eye fatigue compared with VR?

Unlike the downers comments, I find this very exciting. Finally a leap (ugh!) forward that isn't more ppi on a screen.

Even if this product ends up being a sub-par in terms of expectations vs. reality, it's not unaffordable; and it may set a trend forward towards AR computing.

It does look, uh, a little weird on people's face. But at least it's not the size of a cat on your face.

As for the software, all we can hope is that they just open it up. Very few companies in the world can do software and hardware in perfect harmony.

Their OS page seems to imply that it's effectively a Chromebook, which is a bit disappointing. I'd like to see something that has more ability to function on its own, even though I guess this machine is mostly designed to be used in coffee shops.

I can pretty much guarantee you'll be able to do almost nothing useful on an airplane, between the web-apps-only paradigm and the issues with motion tracking on vehicles.

Zero spec info. Eyeroll.

But, probably the future of laptops. Short screen component makers.
