I am not so sure about the eye tracking and autofocus stuff, but would love a simple focus knob on the frames to adjust instead of changing to a different pair of glasses. I suspect the tracking and focusing electronics must be somewhat clumsy and a battery life of a single day sounds suboptimal for me.

This exists. There was a frame with a slider on the nose bridge which refocuses circular lenses. I read about it a long (decade+?) time ago.
Sounds interesting. But I suspect my astigmatism would kind of exclude just turning the lenses around
Add to that the blinking LEDs that track eye movements. No thanks.
Are you one of the few people who are able to perceive infrared light?
No. My wife has migraines, though, triggered by flashing lights. I’d have to wonder about the long term affects from the glasses.
