Abstract

With over 60% of the population already wearing glasses, the stage is set for replacing traditional frames with smart glasses that can render key aspects of our digital lives available at a glance. Mainstream adoption of smart glasses will only come by giving people a robust range of features and options. This talk will discuss a number of considerations you need to understand to support the successful adoption of this technology. These include the technical tradeoffs underpinning critical features like size, weight, battery longevity, usability and style. We'll also cover more advanced topics, such as scalability factors, how different waveguide options like forward light management (eye glow) can impact design, and how to navigate supply chain issues for a successful prescription solution. Get insights from a well-established AR industry leader and build a roadmap for success.
