I can’t help but wonder if the benefits of e-ink are as good in the format of goggles/glasses. I’m skeptical, for sure, but it is an interesting form factor. Also a interesting decision that they work with your phone, so the glasses don’t need to have much on board storage. Would anybody here use something like this? Definitely seems ultra-niche.
I saw this a while back and never understood why you’d want a glasses format for an e-reader. I think most people interested in reading on e-ink just prefer the tablet form factor that’s very similar to an actual book.
smut.
I love e-ink displays but i can’t imagine having them 1cm in front of my eyeballs and not being able to see anything else.
I’m a big fan of e-ink. I’ve got a Remarkable 2 that I use everyday. That said, e-ink is a weird display tech to use in glasses. The only reason I can think of for e-ink in this application is super low power draw. The resolution looks horrible and if the image in the article is an accurate representation of the edge lighting, my god.
At least it functions as a nice eye mask when you fall asleep while reading your book instead of the book/e-reader falling on top of your face.
Low-resolution ugly text, uncomfortable, awkward to use, sold by an unknown company, and very expensive. What’s not to like?
This sounds like a very unpleasant way to read a book, but I’m glad it exists.
