PhilNote: much overlap with other lists but a few new ones.
Vuzix took the covers off a new pair of AR smart glasses at CES 2021 that make use of a microLED projector to create smart spectacles we’d actually wear. Combining a design that wouldn’t look out of place at a hipster opticians, the glasses — simply called Vuzix Next Gen Smart Glasses — can display color or monochrome content to both lenses. And features like integrated touch controls and noise-cancelling microphones mean the glasses don’t just look neat but promise to be practical. These particular Vuzix specs might not become a final product, but they look more like a real device than some crazy concept, and hint at how AR smart glasses could finally become mainstream.
