Right, they're _passive_ devices that don't need active engagement.

That's not a good case to make that active devices that consume orders of magnitude more power are going to make it on the market if they can't last 8-10 hours on a charge doing active things.

Maybe people misunderstand just how much power AR/VR require and think it's similar to wireless ear phones.

There's just a huge band gap in power requirements. EVs have similar issues in the consumer confidence when it comes to matching range requirements.

No matter how much on paper you explain to people what they actually do vs what they want to do, the salesman needs to sell at what they want to do.

SUVs and Trucks are similar, except inverse: people want to do a bunch of things, but what they actually do is very little. They'd still never drive a small vehicle just because it gets them good range.

So, when I say the tech/battery isn't there for the consumer, it's recognizing the consumer is an idiot, and the nerd-requirements are different than average consumer expectations.

I’ve heard otherwise intelligent people talk about how amazing it will be when AR systems are just a contact lens, like it’s something that’s going to happen in the near future.
