- Average ADHD experience, but still without the focus
Neat idea. They have to solve all-day battery life and reliability with no detectable heat before they make sense as a product, though. Given the need to constantly run sensing I will believe it when I see it. But I do want to see it. And the item they aim to replace is already incredibly expensive, so there's some runway here.
- Even manual focus would be nice tho. Like when you tap the side of it, it activates the sensing and adjusts
  
  or like just have it be mechanical, please
  any sort of electronics in glasses sounds miserable to me
  
  If they can do it automatically I'm not sure why you'd want that. When would you have a need to get your glasses to focus on something your eyes are not?
Looks at something at a different distance
ENHANCE!!!

lol! I often end up having to use the viewfinder on my mirrorless just to read things because it's a pain in the ass wearing my glasses when I'm shooting, and I have longed for exactly this
Ill keep my manual glasses, these look awful
- Do they? How?
  I mean, They don't look like anything yet, but what is jumping out at you as being "awful"?
  
  They look like standard horn rimmed glasses, I prefer the look of my Lindbergs, but they don't look awful
  
  The idea of a pair of glasses having latency, needing to be charged, and most likley requiring a mobile app is absolutely absurd
This is incredibly cool.
