I would hope they include some basic apparel to wear the device. should one wear it as a pirate's eye patch?

Looks like it has a clip to attach to the front of a pair of glasses.

Obviously suboptimal, really needs to be integrated into some old-timey welding goggles for the steampunk vibe.

At $349 it’s almost in the range where I’d buy it to play around with but I suspect it’d end up in a drawer like a bunch of other things that looked cool but I never got around to hacking on. Once the technology gets good enough where they can fit it into a regular pair of glasses then we can talk — though looking at this Bluetooth Aftershockz headset I use that day probably isn’t too far off.

I suspect that fitting something like this into what looks like standard prescription glasses will require some advances in manufacturing optical materials. I think its already possible to make the appropriate lenses to sufficient precision, but the cost is a bit prohibitive.

The other issue is that the projection display is a bit low-res for what I'd really like to see, but 1 pixel works out to ~0.5mm at 1m, so it might be ok. That might be precise enough for (for instance) identifying particular through-hole connections on a circuit board at a rework station. It's certainly adequate for identifying components on an engine.

I could combine it with the $200+ Twiddler keyboard that's been sitting in the drawer for 5 years, and maybe I'd be on to something!

they are actually releasing a glasses version

I think the idea is that it clips onto glasses
