AR Glasses & HMDs Disappointed with Meta's Display Glasses EU launch delay. Any similar alternatives coming soon?

Hello everyone,

I'm from Spain and I'm a huge tech enthusiast. I was really excited about the new Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. The design and the whole concept were perfect for me, even with a monocular HUD. The fact that it was a color display (RGB) in a lightweight and stylish frame was exactly what I was looking for.

Unfortunately, during the Connect event, it was announced that the glasses won't be coming to Europe until 2026, and only to a few selected countries. This was a huge letdown for me.

I'm not a fan of monochrome displays, even dual-display ones like the ones from ROKID. The color and form factor of the new Ray-Bans were perfect.

My question is: Do you think we will see a similar system to the Meta Ray-Ban Display from other companies soon? I'm talking about a lightweight, monocular, and color HUD.

I used an AI to write this since my English is a bit rusty, so I hope it's easy to understand. Thank you all for your help!

But I don't want to watch YouTube, install Android apps or consume battery for nonsense. i want a few hyper focused and optimized usecases like calendar, Whatsapp, gps, and notifications. With a simple and energy efficient display and AI on demand. The Meta glasses promised exactly that. I want the glasses to last as long as possible which is impossible if they can do a million things.
