I can't help but wonder if the benefits of e-ink are as good in the format of goggles/glasses. I'm skeptical, for sure, but it is an interesting form factor. Also a interesting decision that they work with your phone, so the glasses don't need to have much on board storage. Would anybody here use something like this? Definitely seems ultra-niche.

I’m a big fan of e-ink. I’ve got a Remarkable 2 that I use everyday. That said, e-ink is a weird display tech to use in glasses. The only reason I can think of for e-ink in this application is super low power draw. The resolution looks horrible and if the image in the article is an accurate representation of the edge lighting, my god.
