The radical techno optimists?? Who are you mad with?
That the technology for super light visors is not here yet. But it will, eventually.

Yeah, I still suspect it won't be till between 2028 to 2032 for when transistor density and battery technology enables AR glasses to meet market demands for performance and comfort.

The answer is a wire tether to a phone’s battery. It looks like Apple is going to do that with their VR headset

Interesting. Would be funny for them to basically bring back the headphone wire that they killed off.
Will be curious to see what works in the end. I'd personally love advanced AR once it's market ready.

Apparently the headset will have a magnetic disk that sticks to the phone and draws power that way, and it is less than half the weight of the Oculus Quest 2. I have a feeling it is going to be absolutely amazing, and everyone will want one, as it will give users amazing abilities: hands free map navigation, zoom capabilities, language translation, hands free message notification, etc.

We'll see I suppose. I'm skeptical about any AR that we can make today. Haha
