Nice project, but I do not get the competitiveness of part of its implementation details:

-- the project uses "Even Realities G1" AR glasses (640x200, 25°FoV, 1bit green), while the "Epson Moverio" AR glasses can have overwhelmingly superior specs (1920x1080, 34°FoV, full RGB) for possibly an even lower price;

-- software wise, it «uses AugmentOS's SDK to communicate with Mentra servers which talk to the mobile app which talks to your ... glasses» - while an Epson Moverio system would just directly use the glasses as a display for an Android device...

Both gaps between the available and the employed make very little sense.

You can absolutely find more feature-packed glasses. Epson, XReal, Viture, Vuzix Blade, TCL RayNeo X2/X3, INMO Air 1-3, etc. The issue is all these weigh north of 70g (too heavy for comfortable daily wear), and/or require a wire that connects to an external compute box (not socially acceptable for daily wear). Glasses like the Even Realities, otoh, are lightweight, look normal, and are wireless, so can be worn all-day as you would normal prescription glasses.

Makes perfect sense- usability. Look at both sets of glasses.

One looks normal enough to wear all the time.
