AR headsets up the game considerably, integrating information displays,

cameras, and more into eyewear. One of the first AR headsets was Google

Glass. It had a built-in camera and Bluetooth connectivity, enabling you to

take video and photos from a first-person view. It also enabled you to connect

to your smartphone via Bluetooth, so you could answer calls and see

information from your phone in the lens of the glass. One of the big issues

with Google Glass, as people later discovered, was privacy. Since it was quite

simple for someone wearing Google Glass to film or photograph his or her

surroundings, often without the knowledge of others, it created an

uncomfortable invasion of personal space. In fact, some business

establishments, such as restaurants, bars, and other public places, banned the

use of Google Glass on their premises.

A new crop of AR headsets focuses more on specific hobbies or skill

groups. The Garmin Varia Vision, Solos Smart Glasses, and Everysight

Raptor AR headsets, for example, enable cyclists to track their speed,

pedaling cadence, heart rate, distance traveled, calories burned, elevation, and

a whole lot more. They sync with smartphones as well, so you can track your

stats over time. Some connect to other cycling devices to track your

surroundings, so you know when you’re about to be run over by a car, for

example.
