Orion combines the look and feel of a regular pair of glasses

Ah yes, "the look and feel of a regular pair of glasses":

Maybe they will have an upgraded version with a large rubber nose and a moustache.

They could have gone with a "visor" frame design that would have been more fashionable, but I think this is pretty impressive for demonstrating the bare minimum amount of plastic needed to house holographic transparent displays, internal/external tracking sensors, and a sound system.

What they claim these glasses can do is absolutely incredible (we won't really know because they are only being used internally for further development).
