Article was mostly about the Ray Ban Meta smart glasses as AR people can actually adopt and use now, vs Apple's AR you will be able to do at some point, but right now requires completely impractical and doofy hardware.

Personally, I'm hoping Brilliant comes from behind and laps everyone. The tech is not particularly ambitious (more HUD than AR), but the open source philosophy is by far the best way to go.

If the Ray Ban Meta get a small little screen in the next generation, even if it's $50-$100 more, I'll buy them. I still might buy the current generation once summer rolls around and I actually need sunglasses.

They've got the same AR as every other pair of sunglasses, tinted lenses, plus a camera and a speaker, no? The comparison to the Vision Pro, right now, makes about as much sense as comparing the glasses to AirPods.
