USB-C Glasses

After just a few weeks of excitement the Apple Vision Pro has faded away. Too pricey, too heavy, too cumbersome to work with. At the same time a number of Asian OEMs have come with a much simpler (and I believe a much better) concept. USB-C glasses. They work like a wearable display (with some extras). And displays today can be hooked up with a USB-C cable. The same cable can carry power (either way) and data (for additional accessories). So it makes the glasses conceptually dead simple.

Alex Badics dives deeper into internals of these glasses on his blog here: https://voidcomputing.hu/blog/good-bad-ugly/ and here: https://voidcomputing.hu/blog/worse-better-prettier/.

Plug them into any display-enabled USB-C port. A laptop, an iPad, a phone (including iPhones since v15 of course). And have huge private screen for yourself. On a plane or on a couch. I believe most of the designs use the electronic viewfinder (EVF) displays from digital cameras (e.g., Rokid says the displays are made by Sony).

At 75g and under $500 it clearly is a winner. Something Apple could (or should) consider - call it Eye Pods or whatever and Keep It Simple Stupid. KISS - that rule almost never fails.
