On: Reverse engineering Solos smart glasses

Not sure if same vein/counts, Monocle/Frame is bluetooth based

I have a Monocle! It's much worse than this device. The battery only lasts about an hour, and you can't do real images.

I have a Frame and it’s not so great, the prism interferes too much with your vision. You can do images on the Frame. I’m optimistic that Brilliant Labs latest iteration might be better - Halo. They are great at being open source and open design.

Probably the leading current product if you want HUD Bluetooth glasses are Even Realities G1s but those aren’t going to do images however they have very crisp and useable monochrome displays for text.

I really want a display + camera + audio. Halo offers those, but the Brilliant Labs model of releasing a single run of a product and then immediately moving on to the next iteration kind of sucks -- and they're going to do it again with Halo, they've explicitly said so. If I want to build for an abandoned product, well, I've already got these Solos!

I used to have a monocle, I thought frame was just monocle inside glasses
