I for one, am extremely impressed. Yes, its a prototype, and the cost makes these nonviable for consumer use at the moment. But this is a glimpse of the future! I thought it'd be another ~decade until anyone was able to cram fully-functional, HoloLens-style AR device into a form factor this small, and here Facebook just went and did it!
It's crazy to me to see people in this thread calling this "bulky". It's literally the smallest this tech has ever been! Small enough to pass for actual glasses! It has a massively wider field of view than HoloLens, despite the HoloLens being like 10x bulkier! And they somehow managed to cram eye tracking and hand tracking into the thing on top of all that? This is literally the AR future science fiction has been envisioning for years, in real life, and yet this whole thread seems to be filled with nothing but cynicism!
