I have glasses, I love being able to "see" 20/20.

I can imagine some slightly heavier "kinda weak" AR glasses that hook up to your phone, being common place in the future.

There is no way to get AR without wearing anything btw.

There is no way to get AR without wearing anything but what about that:

This could be for people that can tolerate contact lenses.

This technology will not be available soon but maybe when we are old. If you do all the computing on a cloud. With ultra low latency wifi endless possibilities.

They can make "acceptable" glasses that arnt heavy, in 10years time that hook up to your phone.

Those contact lense you post seem like a far off dream, born of some scifi.

That probably isnt happening within the next 100 years.

But in 10years time you can probably get smart phone glasses with AR.

 

Until then... you can get something much better in VR (slightly heavier wear though).
