Getting over the aesthetics hurdle is going to be so difficult for AR glasses.

Everyone keeps saying VR isn’t what people want, they want AR glasses.

But then the first AR glasses are not exceptionally thin and small. So it’s revealed that people were saying they actually wanted something seemingly impossible instead.

I have faith that the industry could get to “small enough” eventually. But I don’t know if the market will give them the runway they need to get there. Anyone paying attention knows what they are showing is a major improvement on previous AR devices in size and weight. But your average person looks at it and laughs at how big it is.

I wonder if the industry has the fortitude to keep pressing forward. Because if AR glasses did work as people dream they can, in the form factor they expect, then everyone will want them. Even if we have to set up strict laws around them.

I find it ironic that PCMR was always really “Microsoft Master Race.”

Windows PC Master Race.

China isn’t allowed to use advanced expensive US models. And US nationals can’t afford advanced expensive US models so they want to use Chinese models.

What a weird situation. Huh?
