The xreal air 1 proved you can do a lot with AR without cameras. I wish companies would focus on maturing those use cases and make cameraless devices mainstream.
I'm working on a way to control them without a brain interface and also without the clunky methods being used today (gestures, peripherals, tapping the side of the glasses, etc.) Wish me well!
Sure, but when smartglasses become ubiquitous, it's much easier for bad actors to blend in and reduces the "barriers to entry". Furthermore, it makes it much easier for bad corporate actors to abuse this functionality.
A chorded keyboard built into controllers may be a solution, but (like all keyboards) has a learning curve.

Cameras/gloves that detect sign language (letters or even words) may be another solution, but has a steeper learning curve.
Didn't want to admit it, but me too at first 😅
Thanks :) Yeah works great indoors! It's washed out in full sunlight though.
I think we can do a lot of useful things with just 3dof. Those glasses had great head tracking without cameras.

I've heard that remote desktop is possible, but I haven't tried it myself. I usually just use Samsung Dex.

I know, but almost all AR offerings include cameras that are capable of the same thing.
This creepiness is one reason why I'm sticking with the XReal Air 1. No cameras.
If AR glasses with cameras become popular, we're going to have to rethink how we design public restrooms.
It's annoying, I agree. But it hasn't stopped the Quest headset from doing well. The Orion glasses aren't for sale though, so it's a moot point.
I feel like Meta and Apple are stuck trying to give you a point and click desktop experience using a completely novel device.

Can’t say I’m a fan of the monthly fee.
Snap OS has an interesting interface where the palm of your hand brings up a menu. I don’t think it’s the most user-friendly approach though.
