I’ve been reading a lot about how we can input stuff into AR glasses, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mess. I have a pair that uses temples, a ring, and voice control. None of them really work well for me. Temples only slide in one direction, the ring is bulky and uncomfortable, and voice control is awkward in public. I mean, why isn’t there a better solution? I’ve been thinking of a small, detachable Bluetooth touchpad. Anyone know if this exists or if there are prototypes?
I totally agree! Something simple would make a huge difference. Maybe it could attach to a ring or a wristband too?
Exactly! If they made it portable, it could really help with usability.
What about using a smartwatch? They could integrate it with the glasses, right?
Yea, I was thinking that too! Smartwatches are pretty convenient.
I mean, how would you hook a watch onto your glasses, though? That sounds awkward.
LOL, I was thinking of some kind of clip. Just an idea, though!
There are apps that let you use a smartwatch as a pointer. Have you tried anything like that?
Not yet! Got any recommendations? Would love to check it out.
For real, hand and eye tracking seems like a better direction than adding more gadgets.
True! The more wearables we have, the less practical it gets for casual use.
I heard about Nimo Planet. It has a touchpad and it works pretty well. Anyone tried it?
Yeah! I’ve heard about it, but never seen it in action. How good is it?
I saw a demo once, and it seemed promising! Might be worth checking out.
