Tell HN: I'm on a cross-continent flight using AR glasses

A few weeks ago I got my hands on a pair of AR glasses after reading about them here on HN, the ones that are like sunglasses with a semi-transparent LED screen. They promise to be a big screen experience on-the-go.

So, I gave them a shot at home first and they actually exceeded my expectations. But, let's be real, but it felt like a gimmick in a home office environment.

But, my cross-continent flight was the perfect opportunity to put these babies to the test. I brought my trusty wireless keyboard and mouse along for the ride and here's what I found:

The Good:

- If you're like me and used to working on monitors, these glasses are definitely a step up from using a laptop while traveling. - There's definitely some potential in this technology.

The Not-So-Good:

- The display quality is just okay, nothing too impressive and led to eye fatigue only after a few minutes. - The lack of head tracking can be a bit disorienting. - The wires and keyboard/mouse setup isn't exactly sleek. A wireless option will be needed.

All in all, I think the technology still has a ways to go but in the next few years, it could really mature and open up some cool new opportunities.

Going to put them down now as my eyes are hurting though.

Is anyone using those on a day to day basis?
