This review seems a little lacking without any mention of direct competitors to the headset like NReal Air and Bigscreens glasses.

It dismisses Meta's workspaces on VR platforms without mentioning dedicated providers like Immersed as potentially better options.

There is possibly a niche market for separates (glasses, keyboards, base units etc) that excel at their individual function within this emerging AR/VR space; it will be interesting to see if closely coupled products like this can match the excellence of specialists or if the focus on the convenience of all-in-one will lead to generalist jack-of-all-trades mediocrity.

Interesting product anyway but would have liked more thought in the comparison products, and more consideration of the base unit as a potential driver for competitor headsets like the aforementioned.
