Ah yes, with electronics and batteries going "BANG" from time to time, I cant see myeself wearing one of these. A burnt thigh from it going off in your pocket is one thing, going blind is another entirely.
Because there nothing in between, right?this sounds more like a moonshot prediction rather than a guaranteed product.
Chillax, even if they release it, which I highly doubt, I would not be crazy enough to put a battery powered Shizzle Apple Lifestyle Product on one of my most sensitive body parts. The tech is simply not ready for this yet, and I doubt it will be ready in the next 100-200ys or even more. So why care?, as If I will last that long...I don’t understand why people can’t be open minded and think creatively of how this could benefit the future in a variety of ways. I guess it’s just easier for others to jump on the ‘bandwagon’ and have a glib outlook that this can’t happen because ‘No one will use this..’
This is an about Kuo’s prediction, it’s about realizing that there is potential behind this technology and no one here and I mean no one, truly understands the future holds.
What we do know, is this technology is nowhere near ready and won’t be for quite some time, but it’s certainly believable and for those who actually expand their minds to understand that, Understand to think beyond the scope of this could be a part our future. And for that, I embrace it.
If anybody is interested in how the full AR contact lens cyber reality might play out, I highly recommend Vernor Vinge's wonderful near-future science fiction novel Rainbows End.![]()

What could go wrong?Good luck with that, putting active electronics on someone's eyeballs.
Wonder where the port goes. Back of the neck ala Matrix style?I hope they have USB-A.
I literally LOL'd at someone using Costso as a unit of measurement.In 1950's computers were the size of a Costco.
I see what he did there.Kuo said there is "no visibility" for this product currently
Soon? We havent seen anything that even remotely reassembles AR lenses. There is not even an underlying technology that we know of that can offer this kind of functionality. We are at least 30 years from this, if we are lucky.It's amazing how soon this future is!!!
When Apollo landed on the moon, we believed that landing on Mars was just a matter of a decade, and yet, here we are, more than 50 years later, not being even close to this milestone. We have been struggling for 50 years to achieve stable atom fusion, and we are still a couple of decades away of achieving that. Researching quantum computing is something that started many many decades ago, and the technology is still in the early stages of its development. We have achieved great technology advancements in the last decades, dont get me wrong, but these are just a result of "mastering" the manufacturing of electronic circuit-boards, networks and micro-processors that were invented in the beginning or in middle of the century. Getting to the next level, would require developing a new breakthrough technology and materials.In 1950's computers were the size of a Costco. Now I walk into a Costco with my iPhone on my belt which is thousands of times faster then those early mainframe computers. So anything is possible with technology. High speed bluetooth, body puts off electrical power which electronics could use. Super small micro video cameras, Ultra micro LED displays, headphones that smaller and smaller which fits inside your ear or bone conducting. Augmented glasses first, but most people don't want to wear glass or want to use when doing sports. Can you imagine the Olympics in 16 years where you will be able to see the athletes playing sports and seeing it from their view or they can get information back about how they are doing during the event!
