That sounds pretty plausible. I was deeply disappointed when they announced the pivot to standalone glasses. I didn't want standalone glasses, I wanted the original device as pitched on Kickstarter. I figured, even if none of the VR/AR mechanisms worked at all, I'd have been thrilled to have a tiny set of display glasses with HDMI inputs.

As a backer, I'm pleased that they refunded everyone (and I can confirm having received a full refund). But I'm still sad to see this result; I had a lot of hopes for this, and it looked much more promising to me than any of the alternatives, right up until today.
