The author is looking for a monitor replacement.

Yes, and he's not wrong, as that appears to be the primary use case for these glasses. For full AR, you still need the Beam Pro, which costs half of the price of the glasses alone.

I do love Snow Crash (it was one of my favorite novels growing up), but I think Google Glass was probably much closer to that vision than these are. Personally, all I want is a big fucking screen fixed in space before me that doesn't make me dizzy when I look at it for more than 5 minutes, or wear out my neck muscles too much because the headset is too heavy.
