If you're a really avid reader, you may resent the visual distractions that keep you from becoming thoroughly immersed in a book. That's where the Sol Reader comes in, as it fills your vision with text.
I can certainly see the appeal, I have dodgy hands and struggle to hold anything larger than a phone for any length of time, which isn’t ideal for reading. If the glasses could hold it for me, that’s excellent.
My big concern though is the lack of refresh rate on eink, meaning the text is just going to be in front of you at all times. My own experiences in VR confirm that moving your head whilst your vision does update even just by a little bit = 🤢
Yeah, same experience here for sure. Although e-ink doesn’t really have a refresh rate since it’s static until you change it. So I’m not really sure how that plays out. We haven’t seen any images of what the user experience is going to be like inside the headset, but I’m kinda just assuming a black screen with white(ish) text. No virtual room or theater or anything like other VR experiences, so there shouldn’t really be any motion to worry about
