Augmented reality glasses: where are we now?


[Source]


All of us are more or less familiar with AR technologies. News feeds are full of stories about companies that have released brand new augmented reality glasses. Futurologists foretell enormous changes in the world familiar to us. So often around there are games, applications and other cool things related to AR, which involuntarily creates the feeling that just about very soon you can buy brand new glasses and plunge into the world of AR.


But where are the augmented reality glasses that we all look forward to?
What AR technologies are you currently using?


Glasses, which in terms of image quality will not be inferior to the screens of modern smartphones, and in size will be comparable to ordinary glasses for vision correction. And of course, so that they are available.
