No magic here folks. You’re really just cramming a tiny LCD screen up right next to your eye ball.

For now, I have given up on video glasses and augmented reality. I’ll have to wait for a pair of glasses that don’t give me a headache. I’d be willing to pay $2-3 000 for them, but they have to work, they have to have a clear image, and they cannot come with a warning that I should take a break every 30 minutes and cease use if I feel like throwing up.
