But the Ray-bans aren't AR or VR. They're just glasses with a camera, microphone, and speakers plus connectivity for streaming the camera's feed. How is that AR or VR in any way?
Glasses are a fundamentally different UX than a smartphone.
The question remains: Does an audio-only interface qualify as “AR”?
Imo whether you overlay an image on your eyes or if they just do binocular camera passthrough, they could both count for VR. It's just most phones can't do binocular passthrough due to the lack of appropriately spaced cameras.
This is relevant for stuff like the f35 where you can look "through" the jet
That’s funny, because when I look up AR, that’s not at all what I see and it’s certainly not what anybody I know expects from AR.
“a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view.”
