The "doesn't look too dorky" benchmark for me is the XReal Air line. They're a few years old now, and they aren't exactly AR glasses in the same way, but you'd expect the headline of this iteration of tech to be better looking. Not worse.
I wonder what's actually in the frames. You wouldn't put bulk there if you had any other choice.
XReals have no battery or standalone function and top out at 50 degrees or so field of view. So the fact Orion is doing all of those function at 70 degrees, self powered and wireless is stunning.
Yeah, I'm not saying they're on par. You'd expect a 2024 device to be a functional step up from a 2022 device. I'm just surprised by how much less slick they look, given the comparator.
