- smartwatches for monitoeing health - like hospital on the go
getting harder to distinguish healthy people from medically needed assistant people

Lol, at least start with something like glasses with camera and audio, then move on. What's the point of bringing everything at once for extreme price...

If (and it's a big if) anyone got this technology to work consistently I think it could have limited niche use cases where it could be extremely useful. Like in the military for on the spot info etc, or in construction to see how something would look in 3d and things like that, maybe even in some medical practices but in everyday life I honestly think it would be more a liability and actually be dangerous. People already walk into roads with earphones in and head buried in phone screen oblivious to traffic and imagine driving with all the distractions in front of your eyes. Could end up a useful niche product for certain businesses but not a mainstream product.

AR Glasses are kind of useless technology. I mean, why is it important to see if a flight in on time, when I can see it on my mobile phone or smartwatch or the screen panel of the airport?
"show-off" gadgets at best.

Nice...and Google will put it in a drybox so it will never be heard of again. Good work.

I can't envision how this would work. Micro-lenses could put the pixels into a distant focal plane but it would require too precise alignment to work with a moving eyeball.

I am very interested to see will Meta, Google or Apple be the first to make real Ar glasses which people want to use everyday.
I would say Meta is probably first and will sell products very cheaply and they have also advance because they have Quest vr headset lineup with strong software support.

I can't be optimistic with this startup anymore, looking at Google's history of killing off products—be it hardware or software.

Forget silly glasses, use this tech in reverse, for display above selfie cameras. Or something. Glasses with info popping up into view are stupid idea, especially while driving. People already drive terribly because they finger phones while driving. Something jumping in their view while driving is horrible idea. And we all know everyone will always like to know all about the Likes and whatnot, the moment they happen.
